4 ways To Get The Sexiest Arms Of Your Life

For once I would like to be able to wave at someone and not have my whole arm make waves through the air a well. Then there is that armpit fat thing, whats that about? Either I get this fixed or I might resort to that rude bwoy nod I see the guys do at the reggae dance when they are checking you out, but not really.

We all know what sexy arms look like right? Mrs Obama is known for hers, and Jada Pinkett-Smith all day everyday, so we sort of know what we want, but how do we get there?

First thing we have to know, is what is an arm? Yes we all know what an arm is, but do your really know what it consist of? Your arm is not just your biceps as those one dimensional guys in the gym like to believe.

Your arm consists of your shoulders, biceps, triceps and a few other smaller muscles that all work together to give you that toned look. Now that we have that down here are 4 ways to get sexy toned arms by tank top season:

1. Over head shoulder press

This is a fluid motion based exercise that targets your shoulders but does so much for your biceps, triceps back and core. We love multi functional exercises because they help to make us strong and they help us with the areas that need the most work as well.

You can do these with a barbell or dumbells, the important thing is to push the bar or dumbells straight up over your head instead of a Military press which is slightly angled.

2. Triceps extensions and dips

Your triceps are located at the back of the arm, and they are often the culprits for the extra wave motion. To get rid of them, you can try tricep extensions and dips. Tricep extensions can be done on a bench on the ground as pictured or standing.

Whichever is most comfortable for you the exercise targets the triceps and is very good for getting rid of that fatty area.

As usual we have to add another exercise to round things out. With dips you have now engaged your entire arm, with the focus still on your triceps which is really where we want to be ultimately. Practice your dips until you can get them right, I promise they will grow on you.

3. Bicep curls and altered push ups

Bicep curls are awesome for rounding out your biceps and getting your arms toned. It is a very focused exercise so it is important to add something to it that will use the entire arm as well. You can use a bar for your curls, or dumbells or alternate.

To tone the muscle and round out your bicep work out try arm push ups. The form is important though, to ensure you are engaging your biceps ensure that your hands are not facing forward, but turn them out on the mat as pictured.

4. Jump rope

Finally, jump rope is amazing for your entire body, but the action of spinning the rope is particularly great for getting your arms toned. It is a great way to end any work out or warm up before an intense one.
