Set the clock for 5 minutes, and do as many rounds as possible of these moves:
- 10 Bench Dips
- 10 Commander Push ups
- 10 Mountain Climbers
Record the number of rounds completed to set the bar for the next time you do this workout! You can safely repeat this workout twice a week, leaving a day in between workouts.
Bench Dips
1. Hold a seated position, shifted a couple of inches off of a bench. Hands should be directly beneath shoulders with elbows extended and knees straight and locked.
2. Lower down, bending elbows to a 90-degree angle.
3. Press upward through palms until elbows are fully extended.
Commander Push Ups
1. Begin lying face down, hands underneath shoulders, with abs tight and body rigid.
2. Press upward, extending elbows while simultaneously driving right knee forward, touching it to your right elbow.
3. Lower body back to the ground, extending leg out and staying rigid from feet to shoulders.
4. Press upward again, extending elbows while simultaneously driving left knee forward, touching it to your left elbow.
Mountain Climbers
1. Begin in a deep runner’s stance with both hands on the ground, shoulder-width apart.
2. Keeping abs tight, jump and switch feet as fast as you can.
3. Land gently with the opposite foot forward.
4. As soon as your feet touch down, jump quickly and switch feet again.
5. Land gently with the original foot forward.

Thanks! Those are some great suggestions for at home! Do you have any workout moves to help reduce the fat in the front of your arm (above the armpit area)? I have decent definition in my arms but hate the way the front of my armpit area looks in tank tops.

By chance do you have a modification for tendinitis ?
I’d check with your healthcare team or a physical therapist and have them help you figure out the correct modification for your tendinitis. They are best equipped to help you since they know the exact extent of your issue and can work with you on a one-on-one basis. Hope you feel better soon!
Are these exercises safe to do after shoulder surgery?
You’d need to check with your doctor.
