Tipsy Tuesday: Tone those arm muscles

Tuesdays are for tips!
when I ask women what parts of their bodies they would like to focus their workouts on, I mostly hear "my stomach, my laps, my arms". So today i'm going to show us a 3 exercises that will reduce the flab in your arms and generally give  stronger biceps and triceps muscles.

1. Bicep curls

Hold a pair of dumbells (2 to 5kg) by your side, palms facing up then bend your arms at the elbows and bring them up to your shoulder, then put them back down to the starting position. Do this 10 times, rest 30 seconds and repeat twice.

2. wall push ups

stand in front of a wall, put your arms out in front of you until your arms rest on the wall and are straight. make sure your back is straight as well and not bent forward, feet slghtly bent backwards. Then bend your arms at the elbows and move toward the wall until your chin touches the wall and push yourself back to starting position. start with 10 reps and increase as you get more accustomed to the exercise.

3. Tricep dips

Sit with your butt slightly touching the edge of a chair and support yourself with your arms on the chair. Make sure your back is straight and feet bent forward. then bend your arms at the elbow and move down towards the floor keeping your back straight as you go down. Raise yourself back to the starting position. start with 5 reps and increase by 3 daily. e.g 5, 8, 11, 14...
