This plan is on a “3 Day Week” schedule and assumes that you are getting your cardio elsewhere.
Arms are just as important in your fitness journey as your legs and your back. There are no excuses when it comes to this workout. You don’t even have to leave your living room. Better than that? You can do these while you watch your favorite TV show! So turn on your TV, grab your dumbbells and start lifting!
Warm-up: 25 Arm Circles 25 Windmills
10 Pushups (up to 25 for advanced fitness levels)
3 sets of 15 reps each: Hammer Curls (alternating arms) Tricep Kickbacks Shoulder Press Chest Flies Tricep Dips
Tricep Extensions with a Squat
Take breaks between sets as needed.
When your muscles start to burn, you might want to give up, but push through the burn! Change can be uncomfortable, but on the other side of that discomfort is the body of your dreams!
