How To Tone Your Arms In 10 Minutes Per Day

By Howe Russ


If you are like most women, the question of how to tone your arms probably comes up quite regularly when discussing your fitness goals. Today we will answer this question for you with a sample workout designed to hit the specified area very effectively.

With everybody selling get fit quick formulas or teaching how to get a six pack in 3 minutes it is no wonder people are frantically searching for the fastest possible way to get in shape. However, just because something looks too good to be true doesn't mean it actually is. In fact you can create great results in a short space of time if you know what you are doing.

To prove that point, this workout contains only five exercises: [

* Front Deltoid Raise

* Dumbbell Biceps Curl

* DB Reverse Flye

* Dumbbell Triceps Kickback

* Triangle Push-Up

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.

If you can get through the circuit four times, with a one minute rest period in between each round, then you will begin noticing results within a very short space of time. This is due to the high intensity level set by minimizing rest times as you move through each exercise.

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.

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.

One of the main reasons this issue is still a concern for many women who already exercise is the weight that they choose to use when training with resistance. Many women stick purely to cardiovascular machines, while those who do train with weights are often too scared to increase the resistance to a suitable level for fear it might make them bigger. This is not something any lady should be concerned with, as females don't release anywhere near the required amount of natural testosterone to build significant amounts of muscle tissue.

With only 8 reps on every exercise in a circuit you enable yourself to use a weight which is challenging, rather than a tiny dumbbell you could lift for hours on end if you had to.

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.
