Get Arms Like Michelle Obama!
There's a lot to admire about the first lady- her height, her committment
to kids, her love for her own kids and of course-her arms.
When she went "sleeveless" to a special event, she received a lot of criticism.
But, a lot of people loved it and said- "with arms like that-she
should show them off."
Well, here are 3 exercises that the first lady does, and if you start doing
them, maybe people will call you a "sleeveless wonder!"
Here are the exercises:
1) Chair Dips!
Is fat starting to hang off the underside of your arms?
Grab a sturdy chair, sit on the edge of it and place hands,
fingers facing forward, by your thighs. Keeping knees bent, scoot
forward so your rear end is hovering in front of the edge of the chair.
Inhale, bend your arms and lower your rear end, stopping when
upper arms are parallel to the floor. Exhale and push yourself
up, straightening your arms. Start with 2 sets of 5 reps, and work
your way up to 2 sets of 10 reps. As you get stronger-extend your
legs all of the way out. This helps the dreaded "bat wings."
No more waving your hands and the skin under your arms continues
to wave.
2) Bicep Curls!
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart while holding a 5 or 8 lb.
weight in each hand. Curl your left hand up toward your left shoulder,
do it in a slow deliberate motion. Lower it just as slowly and repeat the
same thing with your right hand.
Do 5 to 8 reps with each arm. As you get stronger, increase
the weight, with a few more pounds. No more though- you don't want
to look like Ryan Gosling.
3) Shoulder Blaster!
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, hold a 3 or 5 lb.
weight in each hand. With palms down, slowly lift your right arm
to shoulder-height; then slowly lower it.
Repeat on the other side, and alternate for 2 sets of 8 reps. each.
And if you want shoulders to match your arms, lift your arms
(one at a time) as if your flying, bring the weight up to your
shoulder and then lower. Do 5 reps, each side.
One more tip- if you don't own weights, that's okay,
just use water bottles, soup cans or empty bleach bottles,
now filled with water.
Start these exercises now, and with a simple diet plan,
and some cardio work, you too, can show off your
arms-come Spring.
Good Luck!
