More Summer Fitness Tips For your Arms!



25 May, 2011 -  So, you work everyday, and stare at a computer!  Earlier I gave some tips on toning your buttocks, upper thighs and hips that fit in your tight schedule.  Here are more tips to do while at work sitting at a desk!

Toning your Arms:

To get rid of that “flabby” part on the underside of your arms, this exercise improves your posture and exercises your lungs while sitting on your desk!  (The photo shows the person standing up, but you can also do this sitting down)

1)            Sit up straight (you should be doing this all of the time while working!) Face forward, chest up and neck straight with your arms outstretched at the sides.
2)             Inhale deeply while stretching your arms as far out as possible without tensing your neck.
3)            Hold the pose for and breath for 5 seconds.
4)            Exhale
5)            Repeat 3 times.
6)            In the same position, clench your fists.
7)            Rotate your arms in a forward motion 5 times while drawing in a long interrupted breath.
8)            Exhale.
9)            Repeat 3 times!

Variations:  You can hold water bottles in your hands while doing the first part of this exercise while breathing, but set them down while clenching your fists!  You can start with small water bottles (of course, filled with water!) and expand to larger ones when you feel that you are ready.  Tip* Drink the water when you are finished!

You can also rotate your arms both forward first and then backwards, if you do this you will be adding another routine to the above.

These exercises are for the women in the world who have no time to stay in shape!
