Mar 21, 2018 by apost team

Our upper bodies can be the toughest areas to keep lean and trim. It doesn't have to be a problem though! Below we have listed 5 super easy exercises that will help keep your arms so lean and sculpted you will be the envy of all your friends!

1. Bicep Curl + Shoulder Press

With this exercise, you're working your biceps primarily. To start, sit or stand square on with a weight/dumbbell in each hand. Bring your hands to your shoulders while still keeping your elbows glued to your side. Then pump your arms straight in the air and fully extend them. To finish the repetition, reverse this movement until you find yourself in the start pose again.

2. External Rotation

This will do wonders for your posture as well as overall upper-body strength. All you have to do is keep your arm bent at 90 degrees by your side. Your arms should be pointing forwards. Then, slowly rotate your arms at the elbows away from your body until they represent L-shapes on each side of your body. To close, bring your arms slowly forward again.

3. Arm Rotations

Complete this exercise with or without weights for overall strength in your arms and shoulders. Hold your arms out straight in an "angel" pose. Then make small circles with your arms clockwise or anti-clockwise.

4. Tricep Extension

As the name suggests, this exercise trains your triceps and rear shoulders. To begin, bring your arms to your chest. When exhaling, extend your arms back, flexing the back sides of your arms. This can be performed sitting or standing.

5. Push-Ups

The classic chest workout is a push-up. They might sound challenging but actually, they can be super easy. Lower yourself onto your hands and knees. If you're lacking in strength, then keep your knees on the ground, otherwise, hold yourself in a prone position on your hands and toes. Then lower your whole body towards the ground without bending at the waist. Hold it for 2 seconds. Then raise your body again.
