Bye Bye Bingo Arms!

Looking for a way to tone your arms, shoulders, and upper back?

Dying to show off sleek and sexy arms in that new strapless dress?

In this article you are going to get some amazing arm toning exercises for women. In fact, I am going to give you not one, but two arm toning workout routines you can use to get those arms super toned.

First off, I’m here to tell you that you can’t get the arms of a rockstar by simply lifting baby weights every now and then…or by doing that 10-minute arm printout in last-month’s Cosmo.

Instead, try the amazing upper body workouts below — I guarantee they’re unlike any you’ve ever tried before!

How to tone your arms

To get toned arms you need two things:

1. Low body fat: you need to have a low body fat percentage so everyone can see your sexy arm muscles. The problem is that you cannot spot reduce fat – the only way to lose it is to burn fat off your entire body. So step one is to incorporate some HIT and cardio training into your daily workouts and make sure you eat healthy foods and snacks all day long.
2. You need muscle! Muscle is what gives your arms their toned look and lifting baby weights is not going to build muscle. You need to work with heavy weights to force your muscle to grow and adapt and look more toned. A good weight to start with is something you can lift 12 – 15 repetitions. If the weight is heavy enough, the last 3 – 4 reps should be challenging for you.

Here are the arm toning exercise routines

These are some of the best arm toning exercises. But, before you jump into this workout you should begin with a warm-up:

• 10 minute cardio warm-up (to get that heart rate up, and to increase the fat burning power of your lifting workout). You can find some fun cardio warm-up routines right here
• 5 minute mobility warm-up (stretch to warm up your major muscle groups, and do light exercises like push-ups to get the blood flowing to your arms and shoulders.

Awesome Arm Toning Workouts

This first workout will be done split-circuit style, that is you will do a mini-circuit set of 2 or 3 exercises in a row and then rest, and repeat the mini-circuit set.

Don’t rest between exercises, but rest 20 – 30 seconds between each set. For instance, for the first two exercises in the table below, you would do a set of 15 dumbbell bench presses, immediately followed by a set of 15 dumbbell bent over rows. You would then rest for 20-30 seconds before beginning your next set of 15 dumbbell bench presses and 15 dumbbell rows. The table is color coded to designate what arm exercises are in each mini-circuit set.

And there you have it — the best arm workouts around! Incorporate these workout routines into your schedule 2-3 times per week, and you’ll be getting compliments on those sexy arms in no time!
