How To Get Great Looking Arms

I hear it so many times, "How does.....get those great looking arms?", or "Wow, did you see her arms? They are so toned!".  Having great arm tone does help you look that much more fabulous in swimwear.  It can elevate your "wow" factor a couple of notches higher.  Let's look at how great arm tone can be achieved.

According to Fitness magazine, sexy arms are very attainable.  They let people know right away that you are fit and fabulous.  There are 9 primary muscles in your upper arms and they all need firming in order for you to get the desired results.  You don't need to be on a diet, but you should consume the appropriate amount of calories each day to stay healthy and to meet or maintain your appropriate weight goal.  Too much sugar consumption will slow down fat loss because sugar blocks your fat-burning enzymes.  When you see candy and the package says fat-free, just remember this bit of trivia in the back of your brain. 

It is time to stop envying other women and be the object of envy yourself.  First, do you need to reduce arm fat?  A quick way to determine this is to get yourself in a push-up position, reach over with your left hand and grasp the back of your right upper arm midway between the top of your shoulder and elbow.  If you can grasp more than an inch of fat then it means you will need to take steps to melt the fat.  The good news is fat in this area is quick to melt.  Triangle push-ups are a great exercise to do to help reduce arm fat because they make your muscles work hard. 

 

Next, it is important to understand what muscles you are working on toning.  The biceps are only a third of your upper arm size.  It is the triceps that make up two-thirds of your arm size, so if you want to find a muscle to be upset with, it's this one.  Sculpting the biceps is trickier than sculpting triceps because of extra muscles involved.  To get good sculpting on your biceps you would have to grip your dumbbells 3 different ways -- palms up, palms down, and palms facing each other. 

All you need are the right moves and a set of 5 to 12 pound dumbbells, a sturdy bench or chair, and a handled resistance tube.  There are a total of 9 exercise moves that you can do to help you achieve fabulous arms.  It is recommended that these arm exercises be done 3 times a week or every other day to achieve desired arm tone.  Instead of listing and describing these great arm moves, the link below will take you right where you need to go.  A picture is worth a thousand words!
