Awesome At Home Arms

Chandi Schwab
Hey everyone!I have had a few people ask me to post some easy and effective at home workouts to help get more toned arms. I also want to remind you that if you scroll down on the right hand side of the blog under Labels we have our blog categorized so you can see all of the posts we have done in a certain category such as arms for example. Men can do this too, just ad more weight.

First of all if you don't have any free weights it's worth the investment. Buy whatever amount you can comfortably do 10 curls with. And your set! Always be careful not to lock your elbows too much you could injure yourself and only use weights that are comfortable.

1)Push-Ups
These really get your muscles warm and your blood flowing. It's okay if you have to start with girl push-ups but do as many as you can in one set. feel the burn.
2)Arm Curls-
Most people know this but hold your weights in both hands and rest them down at your sides with your forearms facing back. Curl one arm up at a time, as you bring one arm down bring the other up. Count 10 on each side.
3)Model T
Have your arms rested down at your side fists facing in. Almost like a wing flap bring your arms up slowly to form a T and then slowly bring them back down. Do this 10 times.
4)Shoulder lifts
Rest your weights up on your shoulders with you elbows pointed straight out. Extend weights straight up over your head until your arms are straight and then slowly bring them back down to your shoulders. Do 10 reps.
5)Crossed arm lifts
Have your arms rested at your sides naturally. Bring right arm up and touch your right fist to your left shoulder. alternate each side until you have done 10 on each.
6)forward arm extensions
Rest arms naturally at your sides again. Bring right arm straight out in front of you with your knuckles to the ceiling bring it up until it is straight out in front of you and then slowly bring it back down.Alternate each arm 10 times.
7)backward arm extensions
Put your legs in a straight up lunge position. Hold weights on either side. Extend arm straight back behind you, knuckles facing straight out to the side extend out behind you until your elbow is straight and then slowly bring it back down and even a little forward until your elbow bends. Again 10 times on each side.
8)Shoulder rollsHold you weights down comfortable on either side. roll you shoulders backward slowly 20 times and then forward 20 more.
9)Dips
Using a chair grip either side and with your body out in front of it have your legs straight out heels on the floor. Start with your elbows straight and then slowly dip down until your bum almost touches the ground, then lift your body back up with your arms until they are straight again.10-20 reps.
10) STRETCH
Stretch your arms all the ways you know how slowly to help cool them back down. Stretch your back and neck as well:)

*Do this 3 times a week and slowly up the weight as it feels comfortable:)
