Arm Strengthening Exercises

June 16, 2008

A toned stomach and legs are as good as wasted if you do not have great arms and a chest worth showing off. In short, If you haven’t concentrated on each and every part of your body, your dream of having a strong and toned body are not about to come true anytime soon.

The simplest arm strengthening exercises include beginning by holding one weight in each hand with your palms facing inward. Rotate your arms out so that your palms now face to the front and slowly lift the weight almost one hundred and eighty degrees until your palm and the weight face your shoulder. Slowly lower the weight back to its original position and then repeat. By slowing down the speed of the movement, you force the muscle to work harder than it would with the momentum of a fast action. This develops the bicep muscle faster and better. Repeat this move.

Another arm strengthening exercises include sitting on a bench with your legs spread apart. Place your right elbow inside your right knee with the hand of that arm resting on the top of the opposite leg. Your left hand holds the weight and the arm starts straight (just inside the left knee). Slowly bend it up until the weight is up at the shoulder, then return to the starting position. Repeat the set on the other arm.

For the triceps, sit on the edge of a bench with your hands on the edge next to your buttocks and then slide your butt forward off the edge of the bench, bend your arms and drop your body down until your elbows are almost at 90 degrees. Then lift your body back up (but don’t return your bottom to the bench until you’ve completed all 12 repetitions). For an easier option, keep your feet on the ground with your legs bent.
