About

Bodyweight exercises use your body's natural resistance to perform movements without adding external weights or equipment.

These exercises are highly adaptable and designed to support generalized averages like 5'5", 140 lbs, and 34 years old for women, acknowledging individual variability in ability.

The triceps, located on the back of the upper arm, are engaged during elbow extension and pushing motions, contributing to overall arm strength.
