Creating sleek and sexy arms is not very hard at all and you can see results in a matter of weeks by doing a few simple exercises and adding in an exercise video or two. You don’t need expensive gym equipment, if you have a set of hand weights or even some resistance tubing you can get the same great results that expensive, bulky gym equipment will give you. Or if you don’t like working out with weights, by simply doing push-ups you are working all the major muscles in the upper body as well as getting a bit of ab work at the same time!

Attention working moms… Check out this page for exercise videos which you can watch while working out to during your free time.

The three areas you need to work if you want great looking arms and shoulders are your deltoids (shoulders), biceps and triceps. And when selecting the size of your weights, please remember, you’re biceps are generally stronger than your triceps and shoulders so you should either use different size weights or vary the amount of times you do each exercise to accommodate the different muscles. And yes, you need to push yourself past your comfort zone to see results, but form is always more important than intensity.

Bicep Curls:

To tone and sculpt the front of the arm (the bicep) bicep curls are a great way to start. To begin, your arms should be straight with your elbows directly under your shoulders, now simply bend your arms (without moving the elbow) and lift the weight towards your shoulders.

Triceps Dips:

To sculpt the back of the arms, you will need to work your triceps. To do triceps dips, grab a kitchen chair and have a seat. With your palms down and your knuckles facing your feet lower your body and bend your arms and them straighten – ya! That’s your triceps talking!

Shoulder Exercises:

The deltoids are the muscles in your shoulders and a nicely shaped shoulder really looks nice! To sculpt your shoulders you will need to exercise your deltoids. Standing with your feet hip width and your knees soft, lift your straight arms from your sides up to shoulder level and then lower back to your body.

There are dozens of options when it comes to sculpting your arms and your shoulders, to learn a few great techniques consider buying a few workout videos to learn good form. By working your muscles differently throughout the week, you will get faster, more effective results and you will prevent exercise burn-out.

With just ten minutes a day, you can create sleeker and more toned arms and wear tank tops with confidence! Once you have mastered these basic moves, take your workout a bit further and try a few new exercise videos to teach you new ways to do old moves and notice your results improve. You can have beautiful arms in less than ten minutes a day – it just takes a little bit of effort and consistency.
