4 easy moves for amazing arms


 

Check these out, too...

  • 10 cinchy ways to burn 100 calories
  • In the News: Exercise really does calm you down
  • Should you hit the gym or take the stairs?
  • Train yourself to do the splits
The days are getting longer and warmer and tank-top season is right around the corner. Check out this rockin’ workout to tone up those arms and have you lookin’ fab in your end-of-year snaps. Repeat each move 12 times and go through the circuit three times.
 
Football Push-up
Use chalk or a piece of string to make a line five feet long on the ground. Start in a push-up position (or go onto your knees if this is too tough), with your nose, waist, and feet over the line and your hands slightly wider then shoulder-width apart. Bend elbows and lower to ground. Push yourself up. Walk hands to one side of the line. Repeat push-up, than walk hands to starting position. Alternate sides.
 
Tricep Dip
Sit on the floor. Place palms directly under your shoulders with feet on the floor. Raise your butt off the ground until you are in the table-top position. Bend your elbows to lower down until your butt almost touches the ground. Straighten back up and repeat. Be sure that you aren’t raising your shoulders: only engage those triceps!
 
Arm Rotations
Start with your feet shoulder-width apart. Extend arms straight out to side with palms facing down. Rotate palms up and down quickly while bringing your arms in front of your body and then back out to the start.
 
Lateral & Front Raises
Stand with feet at hip-width, holding 3-pound weights. Keep arms straight and raise them to the side, stopping at shoulder height. Return to starting position. Raise weights in front of you, stopping at shoulder height.

i have a pear shape body and i hate it! i have a lot of muscle on my legs but its covered by fat! how do i get smaller thighs? thanks Smile




Hey chickie,

Toning exercises (not muscle-building) like yoga and pilates will really help target certain areas and tone the muscles in your legs. Also, a balanced and healthy diet will help ya slim down in any "problem" areas. But remember, too, that muscle is a great thing: it's a mark of hard work and dedication, so you should be proud!

My waist is really wide and it doesnt look good. can u tell how to get a skinnier waist and less fat around my chest by june??? thanx




Hey girlie! The best way to lose weight is to increase your intake of fruits and veggies and decrease you intake of unhealthy foods. Also increase your water intake and add exercise to your regime. Make sure that before you go on any type of diet, that you first speak with a doctor.

MOD! How many times a week should I do this? Is it alright to do it every day?




Hey girlie. Start out with 2-3 times a week. Then, increase the amount of times as it gets easier.

Okay so my hair is medium length and curly/wavy, I need a good volumizer, not body, mousse! Do you have anything to recommend to me? Thanks so much! Smile

 

Hey, girlie! When I want extra body and volume in my hair, I go for either Pantene Pro-V volume boosting shampoo or the Herbal Essences volumizing shampoo! Both work great!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
