How to tone your arms
After the age of 40 women can experience muscle loss in their upper arms. Chris has several exercises for toning up flabby arms.
Exercise 1
- Take an 8” diameter ball, get on the floor and down on your knees into a plank position, keeping abdominals tight.
- Press and lean down into the ball, and then push back up, inhaling on the way down and exhaling on the way up. Repeat 15 times.
Exercise 2
- Take one hand weight in your right hand; get on the floor on all fours. Make sure your shoulders are over your wrists.
- Now hinge from the elbow and extend your arm back, squeeze your triceps muscle. Hinge arm back down toward your chest and repeat 12-15 times.
- Switch to the other arm and reverse legs; repeat steps above.
Exercise 3- Sit on a stable chair, with your bottom on the edge of the seat. Place your palms on the front of the seat, with fingertips facing toward the heels.
- Lift your bottom off of the chair and dip down, keeping your shoulders away from your ears.
- Slide down an imaginary wall and bend at the elbows, then slide back up. Repeat 12-15 times.
