Create Sculpted Arms using Exercise Videos
Creating sleek and sexy arms is not very hard at all and you can see results in a matter of weeks by doing a few simple exercises and adding in an exercise video or two. It’s as easy as grabbing a set of hand weights or maybe an exercise band and before you know it, you are feeling fabulous in tank tops again. Or if you don’t have weights, how about pushups? No these are not easy, but they work your entire upper body and as a bonus, they also help tone up your abs!
Attention working moms… Check out this page for exercise videos that you can workout with during your free time.
The three areas you need to work if you want great looking arms and shoulders are your deltoids (shoulders), biceps and triceps. Don’t be surprised if your biceps feel stronger than your triceps, this is normal, simply use different size weights for the various muscle groups or modify the amount of repetitions in each set. But never sacrifice form for intensity – listen to what your body is saying! And if you’re body is saying, “that is too much”, it probably is.
Bicep Exercises:
To tone your biceps, which is the front of the arm, start with bicep curls. To begin, your arms should be straight with your elbows directly under your shoulders, now simply bend your arms (without moving the elbow) and lift the weight towards your shoulders.
Triceps:
If you want to tone up the back of the arm, you will want to find a variety of exercises that target the triceps. To do triceps dips, grab a kitchen chair and have a seat. With your palms down and your knuckles facing your feet lower your body and bend your arms and them straighten – ya! That’s your triceps talking!
Shoulder Exercises:
The muscles in yours shoulders are called the deltoids and having well toned deltoids can really make an arm look amazing. Standing with your feet hip width and your knees soft, lift your straight arms from your sides up to shoulder level and then lower back to your body.
