In the world of fitness, today, there are a myriad of choices on how to target particular areas of the body. Sources for information are endless. From the internet to television and then you have the fitness expert at the office touting the latest and greatest fitness plan. With all these choices, how does an individual decide what is the simplest and most effective way to achieve goals for the health and fitness of our bodies?
The Benefits of Creating a Daily Arm Workout Schedule
If we break our bodies down into certain areas to target, it makes our goals easier. With summer approaching we are beginning to bare areas of our bodies that were kept covered all winter. We gaze in the mirror at our pale, fleshy, skin, and if we haven’t kept up with our weight loss plan then the body staring back at us is less than perfect. Somehow our gaze tends to fall on our arms, and if there is any hanging flesh underneath the upper arm we are aghast at this hideous sight! Fortunately there is a solution to our winter arm fat syndrome. We can create our own boot camp at whatever time of day works for us. The time it takes to work on our shoulders, triceps and biceps could be the same amount of time we are sitting, blankly staring at our cup of coffee, trying to jump start the day.
Three Arm Workouts to Get You Started
If we follow the guidelines for a choice of the top 3 arm workouts, we can have tank top ready arms before we know it.
1. The shoulder press is a good start and all you will need is a set of dumbbells. To do this exercise you just stand with your feet shoulder-width apart with a dumbbell in each hand. Bend your elbows bringing your hands to your shoulders. Bring the weights over your head for about 25 reps or more.
2. A good exercise for the triceps is the triceps push-back. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent, with a dumbbell in each hand and your arms straight down your side, with the palms facing backwards. Move arms straight back behind you for about 25 reps.
3. The third and final exercise is the arm circle. This exercise targets the shoulders, back, triceps and biceps. As in the previous exercises stand again with your feet shoulder-width apart. Extend your arms straight out at your sides, to shoulder height. Do about 25 backward circles and then reverse direction and do 20 forward circles.
Conclusion
How long did this take you? Probably not more than 15 to 20 minutes. Once you get started in a routine of exercise it becomes easier, and you will enjoy the renewed flexibility in your arms and shoulders. During the day when you get a chance you could take the time to stand up and stretch your arms and even repeat the exercises, whether you have the dumbbells or not. Exercise is crucial to health, it makes us look and feel better. Jump on board and start your arm workouts today!
