Toned Arms Exercises
Toned arms are one of the best accessories to have, especially in the summer! Having toned arms means you look amazing in your favorite clothes, and you will also notice a big difference in how you feel. While you may normally think of toned arms as something that requires hours of work in the gym, I’ve got some easy exercises that you can do at home!
Arm circles: standing up tall and straight, extend your arms straight out to your sides (so you’re in a “T” shape). With your palms facing the floor, move your arms in quick, tight circles. These circles may not sound like a very intense workout, but they will help tone your upper arms.
Push-ups: push-ups are simple, but they’re a great exercise to give you toned arms. The key is to make sure you’re doing your push ups with the right form. Use the same straight, tall posture you would if you were standing standing up and hold a nice line through your body. Make sure you’re holding this form even when you’re in the lower position of your push-up.
Planks: like push-ups, planks are going to help you get nicely toned arms while also working your legs and core. Get even more out of the standard plank by raising one arm and touching it to your shoulder on the opposite side of your body. Repeat this for the other arm, and continue alternating until you are done.
Weights: if you have some dumbbells at home, try adding in a few weight exercises as well. Bicep curls are a nice way to sculpt toned arms. Hold a pair of dumbbells, letting your arms hang slightly. In a slow, steady motion, bend at your elbow to lift the weight, bringing your forearm to your chest. With the same motion, lower the weight back down until it returns to the starting position. Bicep curls are a simple way to start doing weight lifting exercises.
By adding these easy exercises to your existing routine, you’ll have toned arms before you know it! What I like most about these exercises is that you can do them just about anywhere, and most of them don’t require any equipment. That means you can squeeze in a quick workout on even the most hectic day! Whether you want toned arms or just want to learn more about nutrition, I’m here to help.
