Exercises
At home If you have started concentrating on a certain body part, work on it for at least 2-3 days. Just like leg scissors that you perform for your abs, perform hand scissors for toned arms. You can also perform these 6 exercises at home for getting rid of the flab around your arms.
Yoga During yoga, work on your belly fat. The sethubandasana or the bridge pose is an ideal exercise to improve the flexibility of your thigh muscles, strengthen core muscles and help in overall body workout.
At the gym Weight training is the key to toned arms. Concentrate on them at the gym today after your basic warm up exercises at home. Using the cable pulley machine, perform the cable pushdowns today. If you have been doing them already, increase the weights. If you are in the initial stages, don t use more than 30 pounds.
Sleep well tip Caffeine can stimulate the brain and disturb your sleep. Instead of coffee or regular black tea before bed, sip on a cup of lemon balm tea. It acts as a mild sedative and has calming effects which help you sleep better.
