Introducing my Arm Workout for Women with dumbbells.  If your arms make you feel self-conscious you’re going to love it.

Lots of ladies I’ve been working with lately have been saying how insecure they feel about their arms.

“My arms look awful when I wear tank tops.”
“I have to hide my arms in pictures because they look flabby.  My arms only look good when I hold my elbows back.”
“My arms smoosh out and double in size when I hold them down by my side.”

That’s a highlight reel of the things my clients have been saying lately.

If you feel like your arms are flabby instead of fit, I have good news!

Arms are one of the easiest body parts to exercise and seem to get tight and tone faster compared to other muscle groups.  This fun fat burning arm workout routine will help you get tight, toned arms so you can confidently let your guns out when the sun’s out.
 

Arm Workout for Women with Dumbbells

 

This workout routine was made exclusively for women.  It uses dumbells so you can do it at home or the gym.  It takes approx. 20 minutes, burns fat, and tones arms quickly.

How to do this Dumbbell Arm Workout

 

  • First, warm up with some light cardio and arm stretches.
  • Do each exercise 20 times, to complete one round – or set.
  • Choose a weight that’s heavy enough so you ‘feel the burn by the 15th rep.  5 pounds is a good place to start.  If it’s too easy, bump it up a few pounds.  Too hard?  Try 3 pounders until you get stronger.
  • Try to jump from exercise to exercise without taking a break…  This helps keep your heart rate up so you’ll burn more fat.  But take a break if you need one.
  • Do 4 full sets of all 6 exercises to complete the workout.
  • Do this workout 2 times a week.  You can also do this workout with another one of my arm workouts, if you want to shake things up.
  • To get definition to pop faster, follow a fat-burning meal plan.  If you want to slim down extra fast, use my Reset Cleanse.

Stand with a dumbbell in each hand, with your palms facing away from you, like you’re holding a hammer in each hand. This is your start position. Bend your arms at the elbows, lifting the weights up towards your shoulders like you’re trying to hit them with a hammer…  but the weights shouldn’t touch your arms.  Once you reach the top return your arms back down to the start position to complete one rep.
