How To Tone The Back Of Your Arms

By Howe Russ


If you want to find out how to tone your arms in as little time as possible then you are not too different from the thousands of other women out there who ask the same question on a regular basis. The good news is today you shall find out how to do this, the bad news is you'll need to do some work.

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: []

* Dumbbell Front Raise

* Biceps Curl

* DB Reverse Flye

* Kickback

* Close-Grip Push-Up

You will be performing all 5 exercises without any rest, one after the other until the entire circuit is complete. Each exercise consists of eight repetitions so that gives you a mighty 40 reps to battle through.

Once you have finished a circuit try resting for around 60 seconds before beginning another circuit. It's up to you how many times you wish to perform the circuit, but use 3-4 as a guideline because that's what most people are able to do once they have been exercising for a month or more.

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.

If you were only to focus on training your triceps muscle you would achieve unbalanced results and your arms would look out of proportion. In order to maintain a good balance of tone throughout the entire arm area you should look to incorporate exercises which will also hit those surrounding areas of the shoulders and biceps as well.

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.
