Most women would like to know how to tone their arms as fast as possible, particularly the back of the arm, so today you will find out. You'll also get a sample workout designed to hit the area in question.
Great results can be achieved in a relatively short time frame if you are smart with your actions, so don't be so quick to presume every short-term fitness concept is too good to be true. While you'll see thousands of people looking to learn things such as how to get a six pack in 3 minutes and it's easy to laugh at their longing for an instant solution to their problems, the truth is you can achieve fantastic results on any body part providing you train effectively in whatever time you have available for it.
The workout today consists of only 5 moves: []
* Dumbbell Front Raise
* DB Arm Curl
* Rear Deltoid Flye
* Dumbbell Triceps Kickback
* Press-Ups with a close grip
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.
At the end of a circuit you can rest and grab a drink of water. Try to keep rest periods low as this will only enhance your results further and also introduce a fat burning aspect to the program. Aim for a one minute rest period at the end of each round and shoot for 4 rounds in total.
The main areas you'll hit with a workout of this type are the front and back of your shoulders, your biceps and your triceps. The triceps is the muscle which most women are concerned with as it's responsible for the problem many call 'jelly arm syndrome', where loose flabby skin hangs from the arm if it is elevated.
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.
Most ladies who go to the gym are terrified of picking up dumbbells because they've heard the old myths that free weights are for men and cardiovascular machines are for women. Or they stick to light, pink fluffy dumbbells which represent no kind of physical challenge to them at all. If you want to achieve a leaner, toned body you need to train with weights that push you.
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.
