How To Tone Your Arms In 10 Minutes Per Day

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.

Great results can be achieved in a relatively short time frame if you are smart with your actions, so don't be so quick to presume every short-term fitness concept is too good to be true. While you'll see thousands of people looking to learn things such as how to get a six pack in 3 minutes and it's easy to laugh at their longing for an instant solution to their problems, the truth is you can achieve fantastic results on any body part providing you train effectively in whatever time you have available for it.

The workout today consists of only 5 moves: [

* DB Front Raise

* Dumbbell Biceps Curl

* Rear Deltoid Flye

* Kickback

* Press-Ups with a close grip

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.

At the end of a circuit you can rest and grab a drink of water. Try to keep rest periods low as this will only enhance your results further and also introduce a fat burning aspect to the program. Aim for a one minute rest period at the end of each round and shoot for 4 rounds in total.

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.

By targeting the muscles which surround the triceps you do two important things. First of all you eliminate the possibility of ending up with uneven, unbalanced arms which would occur if you focused all of your efforts on just training the back of your arms. Secondly, you strengthen the surrounding areas which in turn helps the triceps muscle even further.

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.

The reason a few women are able to get great results with weights while others struggle to see any improvement is because only a few are willing to put down the ridiculously light dumbbells and choose something which forces them to work hard to complete each set.

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.
