Toned arms, we all want them, we are all envious of them, and we all wonder how to get them. Some even argue well-toned arms are the most enviable part of a person- you see your arms almost all year long!
Arm toning and strengthening exercises are important throughout your whole life. The benefits go beyond looking good in a tank top too- strong arm helps your back when you lift things, and help keep optimal range of motion. Today, we live in a society that spends more time at desks than outside doing manual labor; we have to supplement exercise to keep our arms looking good.
We have learned you cannot simply target one area of your body and have it look fabulous, to get the results you want, you need to work the body as a whole, while focusing in on specific parts during your workout.
The best way to get toned arms is through light weight and high rep workouts. It is also important to work all the major muscle areas of the arm; this helps keep all the muscles engaged, giving you a symmetrical and shapely tone. It is also important to push yourself and change-up the workouts. Doing the same workouts will not give you great results, your muscles have a memory, and doing the same thing over and over will become routine to them. Your muscles need different workouts to keep them static.
It should also go without saying that your diet will impact your muscle toning. Your diet affects your entire body, arms included. It is essential to eat a balanced, and healthy diet. Drinking plenty of water is also very important. It will keep you hydrated throughout your workouts as well as throughout the day.
To recap, the most important things are:
-Keep strong arms throughout your life!
-Don’t target just one area, work all areas of your arms equally
-And, eat a healthy and balanced diet.
Now go out and enjoy those toned arms!
