Getting toned arms requires one to do specific exercises along with their usual cardio or strength training routine.Remember that by just doing these exercises you will not encourage spot reduction but by adding these exercises to your routine, you give yourself a great shot at getting toned arms.

Before starting your arm exercises always do simple arm circles that will give you a quick warm up. Stand with your feet apart and extend your arms on both sides Make sure you are relaxed and keep your shoulders down as you do 20 small backward circles. Now repeat this with forward circles.

Once you have done this, you can follow the exercises below.

Here are 3 simple exercises that will help you get toned arms.

 

1. Shoulder press

  • Stand similar to how you were standing for the arm circle, except this time hold a dumbbell.
  • The weight of the dumbbell depends on what you are comfortable with.
  • Now bring both your arms together above your head and then bring the arms back to the sides.
  • This is called the overhead press and make sure your elbows are bent when you are doing this to promote comfort.

 

2. Bicep Curl

  • Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees bent.
  • Hold a dumbbell in each hand with arms straight to your sides.
  • Contract your bicep to bring the right dumbbell up and then repeat this with the other hand.

3. Plank

An exercise done without the help of weights, this one is great for getting toned arms.

  • Position your body horizontal to the ground like you would do for a push-up and stay in the same position for as long as you can.
  • Since your arms are the muscle you use to stay in this posture, it is a great workout for getting toned arms.
