Covet the shapely, sexy toned arms?

Ever covet the shapely, sexy toned arms? I did.

Before the realization of my poor health condition, I never put the concentration on any exercise. Back then, I know it's the time I should be aware of my health, I started to read and search the articles in order to gain back the optimal health.

I came across to know that it's indeed fantastic to have the exercise in our schedule. Then, I came to know a lot of exercises like step aerobic, spinning, cardio mix, kick boxing, yoga, pilate, strength training, stretching..., and how to work out so as to get myself in good condition.

Most of the times, knowledge will apparently increase in the aspect as we get involved in it. So, share with you the knows that I gathered to a shapely, sexy toned arms.

It's unevitable to lose our skin elasticity with age. Yet, through a healthful diet and engage in regular cardiovascular activity, staying well-hydrated, not smoking, it helps to reduce down the process. With additional strength training that build up the muscles, it helps to minimize the arm jiggle.

So, get prepared to do this exercise 3 times a week.

Karate Punching-Holding 1 kg dumbbells in each hand. Raise your arms to shoulder level in a controlled manner and start punching for about 50 reps.

Tricep dips-Sit on a bench or chair with your hands shoulder width apart and gripping the front edge of the seat. Extent your legs in front of you, with your heels on the floor and your hips off the seat. From this position, dip slowly, making sure your upper arms don't go below your elbows. Aim for 2 sets of 15-20reps.

Tricep kickbacks-From a standing position, holding 2.5kg to 5kg dumbbells. Bend forward from the waist about 45degrees with elbows at your sides, lift the weights up toward your shoulder and then extent them back. Aim for 2 sets of 15 reps.

Bicep curls-Do 2 sets of 15reps with 2.5kg - 5kg dumbbells from a seated position.

Shoulder Press-Stand with your hands next to your ears, facing in and holding 2.5kg-5kg dumbbells, elbows to the sides. Raise the weights up and then straight back down. Do 2 sets of 12reps.

Get familiarized with it. Promise, it helps.
