Schedule Online!3 Moves for Sexy Summer Arms
Hey Ladies!
Your man doesn’t have to be the only one with tickets to the gun show this summer. Try these three exercises to get your arms in shape for those sexy sleeveless shirts and shoulder-bearing halter tops (work your way up to 3 sets of 15 reps of each of these exercises):
Chair Push-ups. Push-ups are the multitasking exercise for arms, since they work all of the muscle groups at once. Using a chair, place your hands on either side of the seat, and put your feet together on the ground. (Your body will be at an incline.) Arms will go from straight to bent, as you lower yourself into a pushup position. Make sure to keep your shoulders over your writs and your rear end in alignment with the rest of your body.
Military Press. Tone your shoulders with a good, old-fashioned military press. Using 8-pound free weights, bring both arms up to 90-degree angles, so that elbows are in line with your shoulders. (Palms should be facing away from your body.) Press arms straight up to where there is just a slight bend in your elbows, and then lower them back down to 90-degree angles. No free weights? No problem. Just grab a couple of 20-ounce water bottles.
Bicep Curls. No arm workout would be complete without a little something to tone those biceps. Again, free weights or water bottles will work. Stand with feet about shoulder-width apart. Keep your elbows at your sides as you lift and lower both water bottles to your shoulders (palms facing your shoulders) and then back down to where your elbows have just a slight bend in them. When you’re finished, crack open one of the bottles to hydrate!
