If you are like most women, the question of how to tone your arms probably comes up quite regularly when discussing your fitness goals. Today we will answer this question for you with a sample workout designed to hit the specified area very effectively.
While you may see headlines such as 'How to get a six pack in 3 minutes' and presume that every short term fix appears too good to be true, today you will be genuinely surprised at how much you can change your physique in as little as a few minutes each day.
To prove that point, this workout contains only five exercises: []
* Front Deltoid Raise
* Biceps Curl
* Rear Deltoid Flye
* Dumbbell Triceps Kickback
* Close-Grip Push-Up
All five movements need to be done as a circuit, with one exercise immediately following the other. Try to get through it without any rest periods until you reach the end of the round. As you'll be doing 8 repetitions on every single exercise you will have a tricky 40 reps to get through here.
If you can get through the circuit four times, with a one minute rest period in between each round, then you will begin noticing results within a very short space of time. This is due to the high intensity level set by minimizing rest times as you move through each exercise.
The main area of concern is the triceps, which sits on the back part of your arm. Many women have an issue here with the muscle wobbling a bit more than they would like, so this workout will hit the specified area. You'll also notice it works on the areas surrounding the muscle in question, too.
By targeting the muscles which surround the triceps you do two important things. First of all you eliminate the possibility of ending up with uneven, unbalanced arms which would occur if you focused all of your efforts on just training the back of your arms. Secondly, you strengthen the surrounding areas which in turn helps the triceps muscle even further.
One of the main reasons this issue is still a concern for many women who already exercise is the weight that they choose to use when training with resistance. Many women stick purely to cardiovascular machines, while those who do train with weights are often too scared to increase the resistance to a suitable level for fear it might make them bigger. This is not something any lady should be concerned with, as females don't release anywhere near the required amount of natural testosterone to build significant amounts of muscle tissue.
At eight repetitions on each exercise, you should be looking to use a weight which is as heavy as you can physically manage for the designated number of lifts. This will not only spur new progress and get that lean look your desire, but it will also make your workouts a lot more challenging and fun.
The most common question which surrounds the topic of how to tone your arms is easily the time frame for expected results. If you can train 2-3 times per week with a bunch of proven exercises such as the ones you have done today then you should be seeing a noticeable difference in as little as two weeks.
