Hi, Karena here from Tone It Up, and you're on Livestrong Woman.
Now the holiday season is here, which means there's a lot of cocktail parties.
Which means cocktail dresses.
And per your request, I have an arm routine that will give you lean, sexy, sculpted arms.
So follow along.
First, we are going to grab our weights, bend forward at your hips and row.
Then from here, you'll release your hands, turn your palms facing your body, row this
way, and then with straight arms.
Ready?
Row and down, out.
And I'll face you here so you can see me from the front.
So here we're working our back, our shoulders.
There you go.
Squeeze your shoulder blades together.
We'll do about 15 reps.
A few more here.
Last one.
Alright, next, follow along here slowly.
First, we're going to work our biceps.
So we're going to curl then lift.
Working our shoulders, open up your arms here.
Come back together.
Lower the weights and bring it down.
So let's do it together.
We curl , lift, open, close.
So we're working our biceps, our chest, our shoulders -- all those muscles that you want
to be sleek and sexy for that cocktail dress.
A few more reps here.
Let's do one more full round.
Alright.
Now let's take it to the ground.
Alright, we're coming into a plank position.
You can either stay on your toes or come down onto your knees.
I'm gonna be on my knees.
We're doing a tricep push-up and then bring your knees up and open up to one side and
then the other side.
Tricep push-up and open.
When you do this side plank, you can also do it with one knee on the ground if you decide
to.
And open.
So we're also getting a little waistline work in here.
If you feel like a girdle for your cocktail dress.
Good.
A few more reps with me here.
Let's do two more.
Triceps.
And last one.
Whew.
Alright, so this last move is really gonna burn out those arm muscles and give you really
nice toned look.
So we'll start in a plank position.
And then we're going to lower onto our forearms, hold here for a beat, and come back up.
And alternate sides.
Your abs are tight, body's in a straight line.
Remembering to breathe.
And up and lower and up.
Got it, a few more here.
Let's do one more.
Whew.
Awesome job.
Now you can do this routine three to four more times.
And, we want to see you in your cocktail dresses this holiday season.
So keep checking in with us on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram, and we'll see you at
the next workout.
