6 Tips for Healthy and Toned Arms

If you want to have healthy and well-toned arms, then you must take care of them and work hard to keep them in shape. Remember, overall health is a sum of the health of all body parts.

1. Drink water

Drinking water can help you lose weight. Given the numerous positive effects on fitness and metabolism, consuming water should be the basic of all physical activities.

2. Practice a variety of cardio exercises

If you practice the same cardio exercise all the time, for example treadmill running or riding a stationary bicycle, then you work on the same muscles i.e. on your legs, and over time the effects is reduced even on them. To include your arms in the exercises, start making some variations. Hill sprinting, bag punching, do some weight training (dumbbells) etc.

3. Jump rope

Jumping rope will bring significant progress in arm toning. Not only this exercise is a great cardio training, it is also very useful for your arms.

4. Work your arms once a week

Many people who workout at the gym, work on every part of their bodies every time they visit the gym. The problem with this type of exercising is that you are not paying enough attention on all muscle groups, and on the other hand, muscles are constantly tired and don`t have time for recovery,when the strengthening actually occurs. That`s why you should split your sessions, on different muscle groups. Take at least one training per week for your arms.

5. Eat healthy

When you start to eat healthy (fruit, vegetables,quality meat), then you slowly start to lose weight. When you lose your weight you also reduce body fat, arms are getting well-toned and slowly you reduce the risk of any health issues.

6. Increase weight, reduce repetitions

There is an old fitness myth that by using light weights and doing more reps you will get well-toned arms. This is simply not true. In order to tone your hands, you must focus your muscles on more weight (or pressure). Their strengthening will give your arms better shape and adequate health.
