7 Arm Exercises for Immediate ResultsArm workouts for women just got a lot more effective thanks to celebrity fitness guru David Kirsch |
Do 15 to 20 repetitions each, two to three times minimum. If you need to, start with modified pushups (off your knees) and work your way up to full plank.
1. Start out in front of a mirror so you can check you alignment. Your hands should be directly under your shoulders and lined up with your chest. Make sure your core is tight and your shoulders and neck are relaxed.
2. Use your triceps to help execute the perfect pushup, so make sure you feel them engage when you are lowering and lifting back up. Your body from shoulder to foot should be tight (stiff) and even (your body straight and parallel to the floor).

The spiderman push ups are a killer! I have been doing these for a month and I see so many results it is crazy! I can carry something that weighs more than 15 pounds and my arms don't feel like wings when I wave hello to someone haha!

I could never do boy pushups so I'm going to start with the knee pushups and hope to take it to the next level. Upper arms def need some toning help

These are great ideas. I wonder what type of "immediate " results I can expect. My arms need a lot of work!
