Look amazing in your strapless dress

You’ve got the dress. You’ve experimented with makeup. You’re breaking in your heels. The only thing left to do? Give your body a li’l tune-up to turn winter arm flab into incredibly toned fab. Give it ten minutes a day and within a week or two, you’ll notice a stronger you staring back in the mirror.

 

Reverse dips

Grab a…chair

Sit on the edge of a chair with your hands next to your butt, feet hip-width apart. Slide your butt off the char and lower yourself down. You arms should form a right angle. Push yourself back up and repeat 10 times. And keep that tummy tucked in!

 

Lateral and front raises

Grab…two three-pound weights

Stand with your feet hip’s width apart, holding your 3-pound weights at your sides. Keep your arms straight and raise them out to the side, stopping at shoulder height with the weights parallel to the floor. Return slowly to start. Raise the weights straight in front of you, stopping again at shoulder height, and returning slowly to your starting position. Do 12 to 15 reps.

 

Say your ABCs

Settle down on the ground and get into a pushup position on the floor. Keeping abs pulled in, pick up your left hand and touch your right shoulder. Repeat on the opposite side, alternating arms, while saying the ABC’s the entire time, until you reach the letter Z.
