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

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.
