Push-ups and the bench press are great upper-body exercises, but you don’t have to hit the floor to pump up your arms. As this standing dumbbell workout shows, you can stay on two feet and still work the arms and shoulders from a variety of angles to increase your strength.

The workout has been created by fitness trainer Fit By Mik and can be viewed on her YouTube channel. As a result of not having to drop into push-ups or planks, Mikala describes it as a wrist-friendly workout, and all you need to do it are a couple of dumbbells.
