Our daily, busy life often entails ferrying grocery bags, lifting kids, or even just juggling a myriad of tasks, an adequately strong and toned upper arm is indispensable. But amidst leg day, spin classes, and cardio drills, our arms often get overlooked in our fitness routine. To help you correct this course and achieve firmer, leaner arms, we’re enlisting the aid of renowned fitness professional, who’s about to serve you a range of top-notch arm toning workouts.

Transform Your Upper Arms with Six Stellar Exercises

Buckle up, ladies! It’s time to sculpt and polish your arms with the following six exercises, designed to tone and strengthen those triceps and biceps:

The Shoulder-Touched Press-up (10 reps)

Engaging the entire upper body and core, commence in push-up posture, with hands aligned under your shoulders. Lower your chest towards the ground by firming the arms then straighten your arms back, lifting the right hand to tap your left shoulder. Swap hands with each repetiotion.

The Shadow Boxing Routine (30 reps)

Requiring a light weight in each hand, adopt a boxing stance with your left foot forward, right foot rear, and commence with right-hand jab, quickly straightening the arm. Conclude with a power punch from your left, slightly pivoting on the ball of your back foot. Both actions constitute a rep.

The Plank Transfer (10 reps)

Starting from the elbow plank position, straighten your arms into the top of push-up position, and reciprocate the action.

The Hammer Curl (15 reps each arm)

Holding a pair of dumbbells, slowly raise one dumbbell till it brushes the front of your shoulder, alternating the arms for each repetition.

The Kickback Routine (2 sets of 15 reps each arm)

Standing with dumbbell in hand, bend forward at the hips and stick your elbow out to 90 degrees to start then straighten your elbow and reciprocate the action.

The Shoulder Press (2 sets of 15 reps)

Standing and holding a dumbbell in each hand just above your shoulders, with palms directed forward, extend your arms into a straight upwards stretch, pausing momentarily.
