Get Jane Fonda Arms

Fit Fem'rs, I'll admit here…I am a diehard Jane Fonda fan. What's not to love about her? She's 72 and she's rockin' it. I mean seriously, she started the fitness craze and led the pathway to fitness experts like myself. Part of her routines consisted of calisthenics and strength training, in addition to aerobics. And she hasn't stopped; she now has two workouts for the senior population. Jane, girl, you rock!

Anyhow, in a fitness regimen, one of the most targeted spots that women are usually concerned about is their arms. Why not? They want to wear sleeveless shirts, tube tops, halter tops especially during the summer… but having big and wobbly arms is the biggest embarrassment. But you can't just exercise your arms and forget the rest, you know better than anyone else you can't exactly target train. You need a total fitness work-out to have your whole body looking good and tone up.

First, you need to have a healthy diet to lose the fats in your body and arms. Your whole body must undergo a weight loss program; drastically change your lifestyle and eating habits and your flabby arms will thank you, trust me. And after that, you can start with your fitness workout such as weight lifting. Lifting weights is an important fitness routine because it will build your arm muscles and will tone up your arms to some awesome sleekness. Ooo yea!

I'm also a big fan of cardio…I love cardio fitness! Start your training with a good cardiovascular exercise, then move on to some weight lifting within your fitness regimen to condition your body and arms for a heavy workout that'll kick your ass. Ladies, don't be afraid of lifting weights. I definitely say, include heavy lifting in your fitness routine. I say, go heavy, or go home! HA! And no, ya won't get bulky…unless you are taking some muscle enhancement drugs. NOT COOL.

So here we go, another Fit Fem Flash arm workout, this time to include some equipment, only free weights here. Now if you are first timer, start off with light weights. As you adapt and your body gets used to the weights, start to go heavier. You always want to challenge yourself in fitness. With Fit Fem Flash style, this fitness workout lasts no longer than 5 minutes.

• Bicep curl - For an easy and quick exercise for biceps a dumbbell curl will do the trick. All you have to do is to stand up straight with your legs apart and extend your elbow to your side. Lift the dumbbell up and steadily and in a controlled manner lower it down. Perform 15 reps on both arms with at least 3 sets.

• Arm Circles – Yup, just like you read in the Top 3 Upper Body Moves article. Start by standing up straight in appropriate alignment, lift your arms straight up and swing them in wide circles, as comfortably as you can. Alternate between forward and backward motions. You can do this in 15 reps on both arms with at least 3 sets

• Tricep kickbacks – Alright, the reality is, people don't know how to perform this exercise the right way. Read carefully here. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, grab a dumbbell in one hand, lean over and grasp a flat surface such as a flat bench to keep yourself in a prone position. If you don't have anything to lean on, hinge from your hip and place your other free hand on your thigh, while leaning over you will want your upper body to be almost parallel to the floor. Be sure to keep your back straight and abs tight. While holding the dumbbell raise your arm until it is almost parallel to the floor. Let your forearm hang at your side straight down. Elevate your forearm straight back until it is at a full extension until you feel your triceps contracting, then slowly lower and return your arm back to starting position. Make sure not to rock or sway your body if you cannot handle the weight and can cause injury. That means the weight is too heavy. Repeat for at least 15 reps then switch arms. Each arm performs 3 sets.
