How To Tone The Back Of Your Arms

By Howe Russ


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.

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.

The workout today consists of only 5 moves: []

* DB Front Raise

* DB Arm Curl

* Rear Deltoid Flye

* DB 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 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.

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.

So the next time somebody asks you how to tone their arms you now know that they do not need to spend countless hours in the gym to see results. Just a simple circuit which targets the triceps muscle, as well as the surrounding areas, can produce fantastic results in very little time.
