If you wear long sleeves on the hottest day of the year, you probably should consider arm workouts. People who wear long sleeves in the summer are often ashamed of their arms. Whether you have skinny arms, fat arms, or upper arms that flap in the wind, These arm exercises can help you build and tone your muscles. Our personal trainers can provide an entire program to transform your body so you’ll want to dress in short sleeves all year long.
Start the dumbbell curl with your arms to your sides holding a dumbbell and your body straight. Your palms should be facing forward. Keeping your upper arms still, raise your forearm, bending it at the elbow, as you contract your biceps. Bring the dumbbell to shoulder level, hold it, then lower your forearm. To do a hammer curl, you maintain the same position. The only difference is that your palms face inward.
You can sculpt your arms and the only weight you’ll need is the weight of your body during bodyweight exercises. Push-ups and the inactive counterpart, the plank, build arm muscles by fighting the force of gravity and lifting or holding your body. Doing push-ups with your hands held closer and touching can help work the upper arms and tone them, eliminating bat wings. If you place your hands wider than your shoulders, it tones the shoulders and the triceps. At the traditional shoulder width, it works the triceps and small forearm muscles.
You’ll need a dumbbell in each hand to do a tricep kickback. Start with your arms to your side bent at the elbow with palms facing each other. Slightly bend your knees. Bend forward at the hips until your upper body is parallel to the floor, keeping your spine straight. Straighten your arms, keeping your upper arm still. Pause, then return the arm to the starting position. Doing a few sets of 10 or 15 can tone your arms quickly.
