If you are tired of having weak, flabby, un-toned arms, fear not! Toning up and getting fabulous looking arms that you are going to be proud to show off is easier than you might think! You do not need to be a workout pro; you can achieve great results not matter your personal fitness level. Follow these three easy exercises to tone your arms up in just minutes per day.
1. Arm Circles: Begin by standing with your feet shoulder width apart. Extend your arms straight out to your sides at shoulder height, with your palms facing outward and your fingers pointing upward. Keeping shoulders down, make twenty small backward circles with your arms. Switch directions, and repeat the process to complete twenty forward circles.
2. Shoulder Presses: You will need a set of three pound dumbbells for this exercise. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder width apart, and hold one dumbbell in each hand. Bend your elbows, while bringing your hands to your shoulders, with your palms facing forward. Press the weights straight over your head, while keeping your shoulders down. Lower the weights back to your shoulders and repeat the process for twenty repetitions.
3. Triceps Push Backs: Begin by standing with your feet shoulder width apart. Bend your knees just slightly. Hold a three pound dumbbell in each hand, with your arms straight down at your sides. Keep your palms facing backward. Next, lift your arms straight back approximately two feet directly behind you. Return your hands to your sides. Repeat the process to complete twenty repetitions.
For even more of an upper body workout, consider installing a pull up bar in your home or office, and completing as many pull ups as you possibly can without straining yourself. Each day set a new goal and strive to beat your previous number. In addition to pull ups, you can also get many benefits from good old fashioned push-ups. Set a first day goal of completing twenty-five and each day try to add another five. Work up to fifty, but use care to ensure you are conducting the exercise properly in order to avoid injury or strain.
Carrying out these very simple exercises everyday will transform your arms in no time at all. You will be amazed at how easy these exercises are, and you will be blown away by how terrific your arms look in all of your sleeveless outfits.
