Arm toning exercise

How long does it take to tone flabby arms? If you train your arms at least two times per week AND improve your nutrition, you can see significant improvement in your upper arm development in as little as 6 weeks. Keeping in mind that the less excess body fat you have, the quicker you will be able to tone your arms.

Here are a few exercises to reduce arm fat by targeting both your biceps and triceps:

1. Weightlifting

This time-tested exercise to reduce arm fat and have toned arms is also an effective exercise to remove belly fat which strengthens the core. For this exercise, you need to select an item from your home to use as a weight. You can use a 2-liter plastic bottle or if you have a pair of dumbbells at home it works out just fine – just use something which weighs between 2.5-3 pounds. Hold that item with both your hands and lift it over your head. Your arms should be straight, as this is your starting position. Now lower the weight, by taking it behind your back. You need to reach it as low as you can. Bring up the weight above your head, again. The slower you move your arms, the more toned your arms will get. It is important to keep your upper arms close to your head and ears.

2. Chair Dips

For this workout you need to choose a stable, solid chair.(Avoid using a soft cushion sofa.) The furniture should be at least 2 feet higher than the ground. You should have 3 feet of free space in front of the item, to perform this exercise with ease. Face away from the furniture and place your hands on it. Your arms should be shoulder width apart. Move three to four steps away from the furniture; keep your upper body straight. This is your starting position. Bend your knees to match the furniture. Bend your elbows and move your whole body to the ground, the aim is to touch the floor. Come back into your normal position. You need to do 3 sets of 20 reps, every day. This is undoubtedly one of the best exercises to do to lose weight fast.

3. Counter Push Ups

The counter push up is an amazing exercise to tone arms that can be done using a table or kitchen counter, as the focus of this exercise is on stability. You need to face the counter with your arms on the edge of it and your feet touching the base of the counter. Move back from the counter until you feel your body leaning forward on tiptoes. You need to be balanced on your feet and your back should be straight. This is your starting position. Bend your elbows and come down till you touch the counter. Now straighten your elbows and come back to your starting position. This is a complete rep, and you need to do 3 sets of 20 reps, every day. This will tone your arms within few weeks.
