    I don't mind lunges. I have very weak arms and can't even do 1 push up which is so frustrating. My boyfriend laughs at this considering he can do a hundred where as I can do more sit ups :) No one is good at everything

    I admit, I'm not a huge fan of jumping rope...I would rather run 5 miles with rabid grizzly bears chasing behind me than having to jump rope for 3 minutes straight.

    Hip abductor. Especially when people make eye contact mid-spread-eagle.

    but for real tricep dips, still working on that.

    YUP on the hip abductors!

    I don't mind planks, but I warn anyone to build up to a minute so all your stabilizer muscles can adjust. I got rowdy challenging my fit roommate to last a minute and my lower back hurt for days

    the arm bike, the trainer insists I do it before any sort of lifting... longest 10 mins of my life.

    thats rediculous. i mean, yeah, warm up, but moving the arms like that for 10 minutes? my rotator cuff would be screaming.

    running, jump rope, push ups, and sun-gods are all good warm ups for upper body lifting day.
    After shoulder surgery that is the first thing you do. When in therapy it's what you start with. Does loosen the joint but is so boring.

    Jumping jacks. I hiked the Grand Canyon but I can't handle jumping jacks. I think anything high impact is just to hard on me. Push-ups are horrible too but I still work on those but use the girly form with bent knees.
    Because of my knees I have to do standing ones

    Lunges.

    When I was thin, I loved them. Now, I hate them but I do them anyway because lunges give you an awesome butt. :smile:

    At this weight, I feel like I am going to fall over, that my form is wrong (even though my trainer says it looks textbook perfect), my arthritic left knee screams, and they make me feel hideously uncoordinated.

    Oh, and step ups for the similar reasons (falling, knees, lack of coordination.)
