Push Ups
If you have ever done push ups, you must have noticed the strength it takes to do it and the good feeling you have after you are done with it.

If you wish you can creatively use your chair or bench for performing bench dips! Believe me it's a simple and effective exercise that strengthens your arms and thighs. Just sit on the side edge of a bench or chair. Place your hands on the edge of the bench/chair just besides the glutes. Now, start lowering yourself off the chair/bench and let your hands support the entire weight of the body. The feet must be flat on the floor near about two feet with the knees bent. Now, start bending your arms and dipping down. Push back up, firmly pressing the triceps. To lessen the shoulder stress, keep the back close to the edge of the bench.

Crunches are a simple exercise that shapes your abs! Lie down on the floor with your back and bend your knees, the feet must touch the floor.
