Get rid of arm flab and tone your arms with these fast arm workouts for women that you can do at home, or wherever you want. You need…

Now if there’s one thing that we never cared about exercising, EVER, it was our arms. We were obsessed with abs (and where did that get us? nowhere), legs, butt, even our chubby face.

But arms?

We carry our grocery bags & our books, that’s enough.

Add to this that we were afraid we'd look like a man if we lift 2 lbs dumbbells. Each side.

Arms were a forgotten part in our exercise plan.

Now things have changed.

We're not in our 20-ies anymore and don’t just burn calories and build muscle simply because we're breathing.

A year ago we came to realize we have flabby arms. And not only that. Last year we even realized we had cellulite on our arms when we were trying on a top in a store. Yes, cellulite (let’s get the pity party started right now).

Man, we hate that dressing room lighting with all our heart and we hope it just dies. Thomas Edison, someone is abusing your invention and we don’t like it.

Goals for these arm workouts

So the one thing we're obsessed with now is toning and tightening our arms.

Our goal is to be able to wear a cute top and wave at the same time without bursting into embarrassed tears.

But also to be able to carry heavy things without being sore the next day.

The other goal, that’s actually most important to us is to improve our posture. With most arm workouts you also train your upper body and strengthen your neck and shoulder muscles. Which, if you’re sitting all day long, are probably weak and might be causing you some pain. Well, ours are and therefore we have bad posture and neck and shoulder pain. So even if that’s your complaint – arm workouts will help.

You know where this is going, right?

Yes! We found and tried some videos on Youtube to help tighten and tone the arms.

You don’t need a gym membership or to lift a million and ten pounds.

In some of the workouts you don’t even need any equipment.

It’s important to have a variety of workouts, so you can switch things up and not get bored. But also when you do a different workout every time, you train different muscles, so give these a try.

All you need is:

(love)

some space

four to ten minutes

an exercise mat

hand weights (only for 2 of these workouts)

Tighten and Tone Your Arms:

Workouts For Women

4-Minute Arm Dance Workout by Popsugar Fitness. We tried this no equipment arm toning workout two days ago & loved it! It was short, sweet, fun and we didn’t need anything besides our arms and the rest of our body. It burned the shoulders and the arms. Stretch after so you’re not sore like we were the next day.

8-Minute Barre Arms Workout by Barre Fitness. Lately we love barre/ballet workouts. For us they’re like Pilates, but standing. And this channel is probably our favorite. Their workouts are 10 minutes long on average, but effective and great if you want to do something other than yoga in the morning. For a complete arm workout that also tones other parts of your body, we highly recommend this routine – you only need some hand weights.

4-Minute Power Yoga Workout For Toned Arms by SarahBethYoga. Tough, but good! We were having some difficulties with the modified push-ups in the beginning, because of our wrists (they also hurt), but this is an AWESOME workout. Apparently this is the kind of yoga you can actually lose weight with. Here you only need a good exercise mat.

5-Minute Sexy, Sculpted Arm Workout by Popsugar Fitness. This has been one of our go-to, fast arm workouts for a long time. It tones arms, neck & shoulder muscles, we love it. We used 3-pounds here and it was enough to make us cry a little.

Toned Arms Workout by Heather Robertson. Do this fast qorkout in 13 minutes with some light to medium dumbbells to get strong toned arms!

We hope you enjoy these workouts and do them whenever you find time – we felt a change within a week after doing them 3-4 times. So definitely worth a try!
