Sculpt Your Arms!

Women’s Health has a good article on how to sculpt those sexy arms. Here are the moves that you should incorporate into your workout:

Works shoulders
Grab a 5-to 8-pound dumbbell in each hand & stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides (A). With arms straight but not locked, raise the weights in a V shape until your arms are parallel to the floor (B). Hold for 1 second, then return to start. Do 12 to 15 reps.
Tip: If you arch your back or swing the dumbbells for momentum, use less weight.

Works shoulders, upper back, & biceps
Grab a dumbbell in each hand & stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Hold the dumbbells just above your shoulders, palms facing each other (A). Press the weights up until your arms are straight overhead (B). Hold for 1 second, then take 3 seconds to lower the dumbbells back to start. Do 6 to 8 reps.

Works core, shoulders, upper back, biceps, & triceps.
Grab the dumbbells & get into the top of a pushup position with your hands on the weights & your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart (A). Bend your right arm & raise the dumbbell to chest level, pressing the left dumbbell into the floor for balance (B). Lower the weight to the floor, then repeat the move on the left side. That’s 1 rep; do 6 to 8.
