We talked to celebrity personal trainer Kollins Ezekh about the best exercises you can do for toned arms right from the safety and comfort of your home. "These exercises can be done with minimal equipment, using just your body weight and household furniture, making them perfect for a home workout routine to tone your arms," Ezekh tells Body Network.

Push-ups require no equipment whatsoever. "Push-ups are a versatile exercise that targets the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core," Ezekh says. "They help build upper body strength and improve muscle endurance."
Tricep Dips

All you need for tricep dips is a bench or chair that stays put. "Using a sturdy chair or bench, tricep dips focus on the triceps," Ezekh says. "They also engage the shoulders and chest, providing a comprehensive upper body workout."

Try inchworms for another arm exercise you can do at home. "Inchworms target the shoulders, chest, and triceps while also engaging the core," Ezekh says. "This dynamic exercise improves flexibility and upper body strength."
Elevated Push-Ups

Elevated push-ups need a sturdy platform. "Using a chair or a low table, elevated push-ups increase the intensity on the upper chest and shoulders," Ezekh says. "They help build strength and endurance."
Shoulder Taps

Shoulder taps are another arm exercise that you don't need equipment for. "In a plank position, tapping each shoulder alternately targets the shoulders, triceps, and core," Ezekh says. "This exercise enhances stability and upper body strength."
Tricep Extensions

Tricep extensions can be done with dumbbells, but a heavy bottle does the job, too. "Using your own body weight or household items like water bottles, tricep extensions focus on isolating and strengthening the triceps," Ezekh says.
