Toning arms without using weights: 3 quick exercises for everyone
Sculpted and toned arms: not just any type of daily exercise can achieve this. Even if we usually go for a walk, run or bike ride every day, this part of the body is one that is often overlooked. Of course, any exercise is beneficial, but for biceps and triceps, it is necessary to add some specific exercises.
These exercises do not involve the use of special equipment, using a mat or particular workout clothes: these are exercises you can do anywhere. No weights are used and they are fast and easy. TikTokker Cassie (@blogilates) also shows how to do them on her account.
For triceps: forward pushes
The first exercise consists of simple movements to sculpt the triceps specifically. It involves pushing your arms forward.
- Stand with your legs slightly apart, your back and shoulders straight.
- Bend your arms keeping your elbows at shoulder level, and your hands in front of your chest, open palmed.
- Push your hands forward, extending your arms, always at shoulder level.
- Return to the starting position and repeat the exercise for one minute.
For the shoulders: swinging your arms upward
- Again, start with your legs slightly apart. This time however, the arms are at the sides.
- Bring your hands in front of your hips, keeping your arms straight. The fingertips will be pointing inward, and the hand creates a right angle with the arm.
- Without changing the position of the hands, bring both arms upwards, up above the head.
- Go back and repeat the movement, going up and down for one minute.
For the biceps: curls
- The start position of the body is the same as the other exercises. The arms, on the other hand, will be folded in front of the shoulders, with the elbows touching and the hands clenched in an upward fist, also touching. They will form an "L".
- As if you were holding weights in your hand, drop only your forearms: your arms remain in the same position, stretched out in front of you at shoulder height.
- Bring your forearms back up, still with clenched fists close together, and then drop down again. Repeat these movements for a total of one minute.
You have now completed this series of exercises in just three minutes. Repeat them three times, for a total of just under ten minutes a day, or several times a day! Check out here how easy these exercises are!
