Arm Toning Excercises.

Triceps(rear upper arm)

The triceps are not weight bearing muscles and therefore have a tendency to become flabby (bingo wings) The following exercises are designed to tone up this area and improve the overall appearance of your upper arms:

Standing or sitting (remember to keep a straight back) take a weight in each hand ( dumbbells are great but tins of soup will suffice) and keeping arms outstretched raise to shoulder level, hold for 10 seconds (build up to 30 seconds) then down to waist level. Aim to increase repetitions rather than to increase the weights.

Stand, and with arms by your sides take a weight in each hand. Keeping arms straight extend them backwards as high as you can. Hold for 10 seconds then return to your sides. Aim to increase repetitions and then length of the holds.

Standing or sitting, take a weight in each hand and extend the arms outwards to shoulder height.keeping the arms straight rotate so that the palms face towards you then away from you in continuous movement. Aim to do this for 30 seconds. Increasing the time limit as your tolerance increases.

Sit on a sturdy armchair. With arms straight and to the side of the body grip the edge of the seat and gently shuffle your bum just over the edge continuing to hold onto the seat for support. Maintain the sitting position with legs bent at the knees (basically you are sitting off the chair supported by your arms) Keeping your back and arms straight lower your bum and feel the pull on the back of your arms. Hold for 10 seconds (increase to 20 seconds) then return to original level. Aim to increase repetitions.

Follow these simple excercises and in no time at all you'll be proud to wave your arms in the air whatever the occaison.
