Fitness - Upper body and abdominals

	Upper body and abdominals Practise all of these exercises
			Press-ups Hands shoulder width apart, body straight and head up. Bend elbows to lower the body to just off the floor, then straighten them up again. An easier alternative to this exercise is to rest the knees on the floor.

			Sit-ups Lie back with your feet flat on the floor, knees bent to between 70 degrees and 100 degrees and arms folded across the chest. Sit up until the upper body is in the vertical position. Return back to the floor.

			Heaves Hang under-grasp with the arms fully extended. Heave up towards the beam until the chin clears the top of the beam. Lower under control until the arms are fully extended.

			Tricep dips Arms straight, legs extended with heels on the floor, hands shoulder width apart supporting the body on a chair which is firmly against a wall. Lower the body until elbows are at 90 degrees, then return to the start position.
