Tone Up and Get Fab Arms

Hi Fit Moms! It's Tone Up Tuesday! Here is a simple exercise to tighten and tone up flabby arms. This exercise is a proven motion to strengthen the triceps muscle which is located at the back of the arm. If you don't regularly exercise this muscle, it will become flabby and loose.

Items needed:
A hand weight, dumbbell or liter water bottle. You.



Starting position:
Stand with feet shoulder width apart, abs/core tight, shoulder blades (scapula) pulled back and pressed down. Left hand on your left hip. Hold the weight/bottle in your right hand, extend the right hand upward, the weight over your head, elbow next to your ear, arm extended.



The motion:
From this position, inhale as you slowly lower the weight behind your head, keeping your elbow in a fixed position. The elbow acts as a pivot and does not move. Exhale as you press the weight upward, returning to starting position.

Goal:
Repeat 15 times both arms. Goal: 3 sets of 15 reps. each arm, twice weekly.
