Position yourself so that your hands are directly below your shoulders and toes are on the ground. Hold your body up with a straight back. Keep your head back and lower your chest down towards the ground. When you feel a good stretch in your chest and shoulders hold for 1 second and press up back to the starting position.

Sit on the edge of a flat bench with dumbbells on your knees. In one smooth motion, roll onto your back while bringing the dumbbells up to a position slightly outside and above your shoulders. Your palm should face forwards. Bend your elbows at a 90 degree angle so that your upper arms are parallel to the ground. Press the weights up over your chest in a triangular motion until they meet above the centerline of your body. As you lift, concentrate on keeping the weights balanced and under control. Then, follow the same path downward until your arms are slightly below parallel to the floor. Exercise description by Bodybuilding.com

Every machine is slightly different but make sure that the seat height is at a level so that the handles are in line with the lower part of your chest. Keep the movement slow, about 1.5 to 2 seconds in each direction. On the way down do not let the weight stack touch, but stop just before and then go into the next repetition. Do not lock your elbows on the way out. Pick a weight that challenges you but that you can keep perfect technique throughout. Exercise description by Hugo Saner.

The rowing machine simulates the action performed while rowing a racing boat in the water. Rowing is a good cardiovascular exercise, but it also does a great job of working your legs, arms, and shoulders.

Grasp bar with a shoulder width over hand grip. With the elbows to the side, raise the bar until forearms are vertical. Lower until the arms are fully extended. Repeat. When the elbow is fully flexed, the elbow should only travel forward a few inches allowing the forearm to be no more than perpendicular to the floor to allow for a relative release of tension in the muscles between repetitions.

With a dumbbell in each hand, stand with your arms hanging at your sides, palms facing each other. Keep your elbows locked into your sides. Your upper body and elbows should remain in the same place during the whole lift. Keeping your palms facing each other, curl the weight in your right hand up in a semi-circle toward your right shoulder. Squeeze the biceps hard at the top of the lift and then slowly lower. Do not turn your wrists during this lift! You can also do one arm at a time and/or alternate. Exercise description by Bodybuilding.com

Stand straight up, with your head up and your legs straight. Start with the dumbbells at arm's length with your palms facing in. Curl dumbbells up at the same time, twising your wrists on the way up. Your palms should be facing up when you are at the end of the movement. Do NOT swing and do NOT move your elbows. They should stay in the same place during the whole movement. Keep your arms close to your side. This one is easy to cheat on... so don't do it! You can also do this with a barbell, or by alternating one hand at a time. Exercise description by Bodybuilding.com
