Fit Friday

For Fit Friday, I'm gonna talk about arms.  We're all getting older and already have or will soon be getting the jiggle in the tricep area.  It's the worst, honestly.  But, the good news is that it doesn't have to be that way!  (and if you're thinking ~ "not me!" ~ just wait)  I'm not here to mince words, I'm here to tell it like it is.  Anyway, back to stopping the jiggle!

First, lean down.  Second, firm up your arms.

With regards to leaning down, we talk about that a lot ~ get moving, stay moving ~ eat smart.  Simple (but not easy!)

Firming your arms is a whole lot easier.  Yay!  My advice is to concentrate on the whole arm.  Bicep, tricep, shoulder.  Resistance train twice per week and include these areas.  Here are 3 exercises that you can start with:

Bicep Curls (12-20 repetitions to failure, 1 set)
Tricep Dips (12-20 repetitions to failure, 1 set)
Shoulder Presses (12-20 repetitions to failure, 1 set)

You can either use free weights or resistance bands. I like either, but the resistance bands travel easier.

Be sure to warm up first and then really go for it!  Don't rush ~ feel the burn ~ then have a good stretch afterward.  Change these exercises up (working the same areas) as soon as you get bored.

Do it today ~ I am!
