Fitness Friday: Tank Top Toned

I realized in the core class I took today (a 30 minute class working solely core) that I have no upper body strength. Why in a core class would I notice my arms have as much muscle power as wet noodles? Two words: The plank. The plank is a good, full body workout, the thing is, I should not have as much trouble holding up my own body weight!

I was inspired post-class to find an arm targeted workout. When I head to the gym, I have a detailed workout plan before I go. This helps me make the most out of the time; if I put an hour aside to workout, by golly I am going to get a GOOD workout in that hour! Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I try to take a 30 minute core class, so that gives me 30 more minutes to sneak in another form of exercise.

This is a “love your arms” workout and it took me about 30 minutes to complete!

The advanced moves in this set are my favorite, because you can work in another muscle group as you tone your arms: your legs! I am all about getting the most bang for my buck while working out, so these moves are the ones I tend to focus on.

There are some more great arm toning exercise ideas here and here. What is your favorite arm toning exercise?

Working towards getting Jessica Biel's or Cameron's tank top toned arms!
