black woman arm toning workouts

Bat wings. These exist not only on the animal but also on people. How, you may ask. Have you ever been embarrassed when frantically waving to a friend in public? Your upper arm continues wobbling way after you’re done.That flab simply won’t let you prosper. If that describes you or you suspect you’re heading in that direction, consider these arm toning workouts.

Arm and Leg Lift

Go down on the floor on all fours. From this position, stretch your left arm forward while simultaneously stretching your right leg behind you. Hold this position for 5 seconds, return to all fours then do the same this time with your right hand and left leg. This counts as one rep. When starting out do 10 reps, then as you build strength take it to 15.

Biceps Circles

Stand straight such that your feet are slightly outside your hips. Take a 2Kg dumbbell in each hand. Keep your elbows bent and palms facing up. Maintain your spine in a straight position, squat while lifting your left hand up towards the shoulder. Lower the left hand then repeat with the right hand. This works wonders for the bicep muscles.

Push-up With Ball

This is a regular push-up on steroids. Get into position as if to do a normal push-up, with your body off the floor. Hold a ball under your right hand. Lower your body towards the floor as you roll the ball forward. Squeeze your abs and shoulders and keep your elbows in. Push your body up and pass the ball to the left hand. Do 5 on each side.

Triceps Swing

Lie on the floor while facing up. Place your feet on the floor and bend your knees. Hold a 2 Kg dumbbell in each hand, holding them a few inches off the floor. With your arms straight, raise your right hand above the chest while the left hand is overhead. Lower your arms and repeat. Do 15 reps with each arm.

Shoulder Press

Stand with your feet apart, each foot directly below the corresponding shoulder. Hold a dumbbell in each hand. Bend your elbows and bring your arms to the shoulders, palms facing forward. Raise the dumbbells above your head while keeping the shoulders down. Lower your hands to shoulder level and repeat. 15 reps should be adequate.

With these simple arm toning workouts, those bat wings should be gone in no time or better still, kept at bay completely.
