Triangle push-ups are the most effective way to get rid of arm flab, according to the American Council on Exercise.

How:

How:

– Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the edge of a stable chair or bench.
– Have your butt in front of the bench with your legs extended.
– Keep your arms straight without locking your elbows.
– Slowly bend your elbows to a 90-degree angle; this will lower your body to the ground. Make sure to keep your back straight and your shoulders down.
