Toned Arms

Do each move 12 times before moving to the next. Complete the entire circuit 3 times. Your arms will be D-U-N by the end :-)

Football Push-up
Use chalk or a piece of string to make a line five feet long on the ground. Start in a push-up position (or go onto your knees if this is too tough), with your nose, waist, and feet over the line and your hands slightly wider then shoulder-width apart. Bend elbows and lower to ground. Push yourself up. Walk hands to one side of the line. Repeat push-up, than walk hands to starting position. Alternate sides.

 

Arm Rotations
Start with your feet shoulder-width apart. Extend arms straight out to side with palms facing down. Rotate palms up and down quickly while bringing your arms in front of your body and then back out to the start.

 

Lateral & Front Raises
Stand with feet at hip-width, holding 3-pound weights. Keep arms straight and raise them to the side, stopping at shoulder height. Return to starting position. Raise weights in front of you, stopping at shoulder height.

Reverse dips on a Chair

Sit on the edge of a chair with your hands next to your butt, feet hip-width apart. Slide your butt off the char and lower yourself down. You arms should form a right angle. Push yourself back up and repeat 10 times. And keep that tummy tucked in!

Say your ABCs

Settle down on the ground and get into a pushup position on the floor. Keeping abs pulled in, pick up your left hand and touch your right shoulder. Repeat on the opposite side, alternating arms, while saying the ABC’s the entire time, until you reach the letter Z.

One-Arm Dumbbell Row

Get on all fours, so your arms are right below your shoulders and your knees are hip-width apart. Grab a 5-8 lb. weight with your left hand. Bend your elbow, so your arm comes up and back. Stop when the weight is raised and parallel to your side. 12 on one arm then switch

Double Arm Lift

Stand with your feet hip-width apart with your knees bent slightly. Hold 5-8 lb. weights in your hands and start with your hands about 3-6 inches away from the top of your thighs. Bending your elbows, bring both weights toward your shoulders (like you’re lifting shopping bags up to your chest). Lower your arms back down to the starting position.

Arm Extensions

Start with your feet hip-width apart with 5-8 lb. weights in each of your palms. Keeping your arms straight, lift your right arm in front of you with the top of your hand facing towards the ceiling. Stop when it reaches shoulder height. Lower your arm back down to your side. 12 times on each side.
