Arm Exercise
Let flabby shapeless arms be a thing of the past. With effective arm exercises, you can sport well-toned arms.

Arms look unsightly when they are flabby and not in shape. There are various exercises that can make your arm look great and give it a good shape. You need not shy clear of sleeveless clothes anymore for fear of exposing your flabby arms. You don't necessarily have to go to the gym for exercising your arm… there are simple exercises that can be done at the comfort of your home it self.


Exercising the arm does not mean simply exercising the triceps and the biceps but also includes exercising the shoulders and the forearms as this gives a balanced overall muscle tone. While exercising the arms, make sure that all the muscles are exercised equally as there are exercises that concentrate on a particular muscle group alone.

Exercising the arm can be done in sets, exercising the upper arms and exercising the forearms. The upper arms include the biceps and the triceps and are exercised more vigorously than the forearm, as the forearm is usually worked out on its own. Try out these simple arm exercises.
