I Do These 6 Exercises Every Week for Strong, Toned Arms

from Well Beyond 40 · host JJ Virgin

Why should you want to have strong defined arms? You may dismiss it as vanity, but the truth is, what your arms look like in a tank top can tell you some important things about your health.  That’s why today’s episode is all about the real reasons you should be training your upper body—and how to do it effectively. I’ll break down the difference between getting stronger and gaining muscle, why it matters, and what makes muscle a metabolic superstar.  I’ll also walk you through the six arm exercises I do every week that you should be doing, too. Now, if you’re thinking “I’ve never done a pull-up in my life, I’m going to skip this one”— don’t! Yes, I’m teaching the correct form for each exercise, but I’m also giving you modifications and progressions so you can work toward finally doing the pull-up.  So, go ahead and listen to the episode while you’re driving, cleaning, taking a walk—whatever it is you do while you listen—and take in all of this great information. Then, when you have a chance, head over to my YouTube channel to see exactly how to do these exercises, so you’re ready to put them into action in your next workout. Whether your goal is to have the best-looking arms of your life or to feel strong and healthy, you don’t want to miss this episode!
