Easy exercise for beautiful arms

Filed in archive Health and Fitness on July 19, 2006

By now, all of us girls are pretty aware of the fact that we must exercise our bodies to remain healthy. I'm not saying we should all be tall, slim or have model proportions, but I strongly believe that exercising a couple of times a week can bring significant health benefits. To make it less boring, I cycle, swim, run, play volleyball, walk my dog, go to a gym, dance - and tend to choose my activity based on my current mood.

Also, if you feel the need to perfect some of your 'trouble' areas (mine are tummy, upper legs and buttocks), you are probably in the know with specific exercises for those body parts.

I have recently discovered that my upper arms are loosing their tonus, and almost freaked out imagining floppiness when waving or otherwise using my arms. So, I have surfed the web and found some easy and neat exercises for arms on Shape.com, that include concentration curl, single-arm dumbbell curl and a straight bar curl.

Now, I know what you're thinking: where could I get my hands on some dumbbells? Well, you can certainly get some by purchasing online, or you can make your own using water bottles!

I'm starting my program today afternoon, and am sure to report how it goes! BTW, if you're concerned about muscle pain from exercise, you should read my article about Cherry Juice.
