Arms have been one of the easiest parts of my body to tone up and define. If you are looking to get toned arms, try the following routine 2 x per week.
Preacher Curls - 3 sets x 10 reps
There are multiple ways to complete this exercise, but I normally use an EZ-bar. Doing preacher curls lessens any momentum that would help you if you were doing regular bicep curls.
Tricep Pushdowns - 3 sets x 10 reps
I love the burn in my arms that I feel when I'm doing tricep pushdowns. When working out your arms, don't neglect your triceps.
Hammer Curls - 3 sets x 10 reps
I never used to like the thought of doing hammer curls because I thought it was more of a "guy's" exercise. Since I started doing them, I have really noticed shape in my inner biceps. Before I started working out, my left arm was substantially smaller than my right (I'm right handed) and dumbbell hammer curls really helped to build up my left arm. Now it doesn't look so ridiculous in comparison to my right arm! :)
If you follow this workout routine 1 or 2 x per week, I can guarantee you will notice a difference in the muscle tone of your arms.
For a great challenge, try completing 4 sets instead of 3, or try adding additional weight to really work your muscles!
