Why Compound Movements Rock
Compound exercises use multiple muscle groups at the same time, giving you a bigger bang for your buck. Translation: You’ll tone your arms faster while sneaking in some calorie-burning, heart-pumping cardio.
Benefits:
✅ More muscle engagement = more results in less time.
✅ Build functional strength for everyday tasks.
✅ Get toned and torch calories all at once.
The 15-Minute Arm Sculptor
Set a timer for 15 minutes, and repeat these moves as many rounds as possible. All you need is a little floor space and the determination to crush it!
1. Push-Up Shoulder Taps

Lower your chest to the floor for a push-up.
At the top, tap your left shoulder with your right hand, then your right shoulder with your left hand.

2. Tricep Dips on the Floor
