Healthy Tip of The Day: Sexy Arms
May 18th, 2010
With the temps here in Florida already hitting 90 degrees, the tank top will be the main staple of my wardrobe unfortunately, until late October. Flabby underarms and excess chicky meat just won’t do. It’s time to dust off the free weights. If you don’t own a set (or two) go buy some – now. I keep 3 sets around my house in areas that I will never miss seeing them. Here are a few exercises that will tone those arms right up. Remember, though, you will only get lean, sculpted arms when combining these exercises with a low-carb, high (lean) protein diet.
Kid Tip: Buy your kids the 2-pound free weights and make it a family affair. Not only will it help build healthy habits but it will keep junior occupied while you work on those arms.
Shoulder exercises
Dumbbell press – 2-3 sets, 10 reps
Lateral raise – 2-3 sets, 10 reps
Biceps exercises
Barbell curls – 2-3 sets, 10 reps
Bend elbows, lift arm from shoulder only – 2-3 sets, 10 reps
Triceps exercises
Overhead triceps extensions – 2-3 sets, 10 reps.
Kick-backs – 2-3 sets, 10 reps
* If you are new to free weights start with the 5-pound weights and then work your way up to the 8-10 pounders.
