Whether you wanna rock a strappy sundress or get a jump on swimsuit season, we’ve got one move that’ll give ya the right to bare totally toned, pool-perfect arms. Best of all? No weight lifting or push-ups required. Yes!

 

The triceps dip

Start by sitting on a bench. G grip the edge of the seat with both hands on either side of your butt. Hold your arms straight but not locked. Keep feet flat and knees bent. Walk your feet slightly forward, contract your abs and lift your butt so your hips are level with the front of the seat.

 

Supporting yourself with your hands, slowly lower your butt until your upper arms are almost parallel to the floor (elbows and shoulders will be bent at a 45- to 90-degree angle). Push yourself back up to the straight-arm position, and repeat for a total of 12 times.

I am trying out for volleyball in high school and I heard it's really competitive. I want to at least get in the B team. Anyway, I have 1 month left of summer and I want to make the most of it by doing some sort of workout to strengthen my arms for my overhand serves. I also want to quicken to speed. What's a good workout to do for my purposes?




Hey girl!

To quicken your speed, you should try doing intervals. That's when you jog at a comfortable pace for a certain amount of time and then sprint your hardest for a certain amount of time. To strengthen your arms you can use free weights or any other machines at the gym meant for arms. You can also do pushups too! Good luck!

uh hey people who write the fitness workouts. you do know that the economy is really tough for families right now and girls can't just go out and buy a dress that costs 200 dollars and shoes that cost a hundred dollars for prom or lipstick that costs 20 dollars. can't you girls just post how to wear the clothes you already have a different way without going to the mall. or how to get fit without buying an exercise bench or weights. Maybe do an article on how to make your own weights at home.
