If you’re looking to build muscle, then developing large, toned arms is essential. Still, you don’t need to do lengthy, gruelling workouts in order to achieve optimal results. Here are some workout tips to help you build your arms noticeably in five minutes or less.

Shorter Rest Periods

Rather than overexerting yourself with large weights which make you require longer rest breaks, consider using manageable weights so that you can get back to work as quickly as possible between sets. What’s more, less rest will help you to boost your endurance.

Don’t Forget Your Forearms

One thing that will make your arms look larger is bigger forearms to go with your biceps and triceps. By doing some simple forearm exercises, you’ll be able to complement the rest of your arm muscles for a more holistic development. One easy way to exercise your forearms is by simply gripping your dumbbells tighter when you use them, thereby engaging these muscles.

Complementary Exercises

Switch between exercises that target different groups. By doing two exercises training the same muscle group in a row, you’ll fatigue much quicker. Make sure to rotate muscle groups to ensure that you can keep exercising with minimal rest in a brief time period.

Bicep Curls

Cactus Arms

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. With your dumbbells in hand, bring your elbows together and up so that your arms are bent at a 90-degree angle while parallel to the ground. With a stable core, open your elbows until they are in a straight line before bending them back.

Upright Row

Let your arms rest in front of your body as with dumbbells in hand. Then, lift the dumbbells while bending your elbows until they reach chest level. Lower back down and repeat. You can also do this exercise with a barbell or resistance bands.

Often overlooked, the forearm is actually a highly-important area to train as part of your gym routine. Not only are your forearms vital when picking up and carrying heavy objects, but they can also assist you when performing fine motor skills such as writing. Here are some effective yet easy-to-do workouts to develop tough and toned forearms.

Palms-Up Wrist Curl

Grab two dumbbells and sit on a chair or workout bench. Rest your wrists on your knees with your palms facing up. Keeping the rest of your arms still, use your wrist to raise the dumbbells as much as you can before a brief pause. Then, lower your wrists slowly back to the starting position.

Dumbell Reverse Curl

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and a dumbbell in each hand. Place your arms at your sides with your palms facing you. With your elbows locked in place, curl the weights upwards until a little after you hit a 90-degree angle before lowering back down. Make sure not to rock your body during this movement.

Dwayne Johnson likes to include his family in his workouts. 

The Black Adam star is about as buff as they come, with his biceps basically the size of an average person’s head. The actor demonstrated on Instagram how his youngest daughter helps to keep him in shape. 

In a video posted to the social media platform, The Rock can be seen lifting four-year-old Tiana with just one arm at a time. The giggling little girl is holding onto both her legs as she curls herself into a ball and counts the lifts as he goes. Her doting dad then kisses the toddler before setting her down. 

“Flew all night long just to walk thru the door in time for breakfast and ‘daddy curls’ at 7am,” Johnson captioned the clip.

The 50-year-old’s trainer Dave Rienzi previously shared a routine for how to get arms like the action star. It begins with rope pushdowns in which you squeeze at the bottom of the rep and includes dumbbell skull crushers that involve extending the arms further back in order to keep tension on the triceps, dual cable pushdowns, dumbbell kickbacks with two-second holds, barbell curls, dumbbell concentration curls, a tri-set of incline dumbbell curls, incline hammer curls, and EZ bar spider curls. 

Whew!

Strong arms never go out of fashion. Think Michelle Obama and Jennifer Lopez—we all want what they have. It takes just 15 minutes of focused arm exercises to stay toned and strong. All you need are some dumbbells and a yoga mat and you’re set. These exercises can be incorporated into your full body workouts, or you can dedicate one workout a week to your upper body.

Bicep Curls

Standing with your feet hip width apart, take a dumbbell in each hand. Without moving the upper arms, bend the elbows and bring the weights towards the shoulders. Lower back to starting point with control and do 11 more reps.

Alternating Bent Over Row

With dumbbells or kettlebells, stand feet hip-width apart and your palms facing each other. Hinge the hips backwards and bring the upper body parallel to the floor. Contracting the core, bend the left elbow back, bringing the hand in line with your ribs, lower back to start position. Do 12 reps on each side.

Tricep Kickbacks

Start with feet apart and knees bent. Lean slightly forward with a dumbbell in each hand, elbows at 90 degrees by your sides. Press the dumbbells back and up, and as you straighten your arms, squeeze the triceps. Lower weights with control to start position. Do 12 reps.

If you’re looking to tone your arms or gain some muscle, dumbbells are the easiest way to do it. Weights are an excellent addition to your strength-training routine, and the best news is that they can be tailored to your level.

Just starting out? We suggest beginning with dumbbells that are between 3-5 pounds and working your way up as you gain strength.

Bicep Curl to Overhead Press

Your shoulders and biceps will get the most out of this 2-in-1 exercise. 

  1. Start with your feet hip-width apart. Holding a dumbbell in each hand, with palms facing out, allow the weights to rest by your sides. 
  2. Pull your core in tight as you bend your elbows, bringing the weights to your shoulders. Keep your elbows stay glued to your sides—don’t let them slide backward. 
  3. Brace your abs and keep your arms moving upwards, straightening the arms above you as you simultaneously turn your hands so your palms face out. Do your best to lift the dumbbells straight up, so they come to a stop directly above your shoulders. Make sure your back doesn’t arch. 
  4. Bend your elbows and lower the weights back to the front of your shoulders, turning them so your palms face your body again. 
  5. Straighten your elbows and lower the weights with control, bringing them back down to your sides in the starting position. 
  6. Repeat 10 times.

Plank Dumbbell Row

Every major muscle group will benefit from this, but especially your triceps. 

  1. Start on your hands and knees, with your shoulders directly over your wrists and your hips over your knees. Hold a dumbbell against the ground in each hand. Brace your core and extend your legs behind you, tucking your toes under to lift your knees off the ground and spreading your feet wider than shoulder-width apart.
  2. Pull your core towards your spine and squeeze your glutes as you lift the right dumbbell off the ground, pulling it to your right armpit. Make sure your right elbow is pointing up and your right shoulder blade is squeezing in. 
  3. Lower the weight to the ground with control, bracing your core and glutes. Do your best to minimize any rocking movement from side to side.
  4. Repeat the same on the other side. 
  5. Do 5 on each side. 

Alternating Dumbbell Punch

It’s best to use lightweight dumbbells for this—no more than five pounds. 

  1. With a weight in each hand, stand with your feet wider than hip-width apart, your abs tight, and your back flat.
  2. Lift both fists in front of your face, keep your core braced, and maintain a soft bend in your knees.
  3. Keeping the weight on your right foot, pivot your left foot, rotating your abdomen toward the right as you punch across your body with your left hand. The punch should be tight and controlled, with your fist about shoulder height and your core tight. 
  4. Bring your left hand back to the center of your body in a quick, controlled movement. This snap back to your chest should work your core and arm just as much as the punch out.
  5. Repeat on the other side and do 10 of each.

There’s nothing worse than having annoying flab on your arm, no matter how much you work out. Getting rid of stubborn arm fat can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. Here are a few things you can do to lose arm fat and tone your arm muscles in no time.

Healthy Diet

Eating a clean, healthy diet is the first and most important step towards losing fat. This often seems like a challenging task but it’s actually much easier than we usually think. To follow a healthy diet try to eat more protein, fiber, and veggies and try to cut down on trans fats and sugar.

Strength Train

Strength training is just as important as having a healthy diet because it can help you get rid of arm fat and get those toned muscles you want. Certain arm exercises such as tricep pushups, dips, planks, or bicep curls are all amazing for burning fat and toning arm muscles.

Get Enough Sleep

Studies have shown that getting enough quality sleep every day can improve weight loss and help control your appetite. That’s why good sleeping habits can also help you lose arm fat.

Cardio Training

Creating a balanced workout routine is always the safest and easiest way to achieve your goals, so make sure to fit cardio into your routine as well.

If you want to look perfect and fit this summer and get rid of those stubborn flabby arms, here are some of the best exercises that will help you tone them down.

Bent Over Row

This is a great weight training exercise that primarily targets your back muscles, but it will also help you improve your arm strength and get rid of flabby arms.

Push Ups

This is one of those classic exercises used for measuring strength and it’s great because it targets multiple muscle groups. Push ups will improve your upper-body strength and help you get those toned arms you always wanted.

Triceps Dips

This exercise is great for strengthening your chest and shoulders, but also your triceps. It’s a versatile move that you can easily do at home using a chair or your couch.

Tricep Extensions

Tricep extensions can do wonders for your arms because it’s an awesome exercise for both improving arm strength and toning your triceps. Naturally, this also means it’s great if you want to lose those flabby arms.

One-Arm Side Push-Ups

This is a bit more challenging push-up variation that may be intense at first, but it will definitely help you tone and strengthen your arm muscles in no time.

You don’t need weights to get beautifully toned and strong arms. You just need patience, motivation, discipline, and the right guidance. However, the right guidance doesn’t always mean you need to spend money on a trainer. You can just start out with these five alternative exercises, and you’ll be on the right track!

Push Ups

Bodyweight exercises can in fact be more effective at strengthening arms than lifting weights. Push-ups are one of the most common workouts for a reason. Do 3 sets of 10 daily, and enjoy the results.

Pull Ups

A very similar kind of workout to push-ups, pull-ups require you to pull yourself up on a horizontal poll or suspended surface. This uses your bodyweight to strengthen those arm muscles. Training with push-ups and pull-ups allows your arms to grow in proportion to the rest of your body. In this way, one could argue that they have a unique advantage over weight training.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CImeZRBpek1/

Swimming

Few exercises surpass swimming for sheer effectiveness. If you swim 2-3 times a week, you will see massive changes to the power of your arms. Front crawl and breast stroke are particularly effective at working out the whole arms in conjunction with the core.

Exercise Bands

Simple, practical and effective, exercise bands allow you to work out your arms at any time and any place.

Climbing

Wall or rock climbing is very effective for strengthening the arms. It also works on your bodyweight, the same as push-ups and pull-ups do.

Your shoulders and biceps will get the most out of this 2-in-1 exercise. 

  1. Start with your feet hip-width apart. Holding a dumbbell in each hand, with palms facing out, allow the weights to rest by your sides. 
  2. Pull your core in tight as you bend your elbows, bringing the weights to your shoulders. Keep your elbows stay glued to your sides—don’t let them slide backward. 
  3. Brace your abs and keep your arms moving upwards, straightening the arms above you as you simultaneously turn your hands so your palms face out. Do your best to lift the dumbbells straight up, so they come to a stop directly above your shoulders. Make sure your back doesn’t arch. 
  4. Bend your elbows and lower the weights back to the front of your shoulders, turning them so your palms face your body again. 
  5. Straighten your elbows and lower the weights with control, bringing them back down to your sides in the starting position. 
  6. Repeat 10 times.

Plank Dumbbell Row

Every major muscle group will benefit from this, but especially your triceps. 

  1. Start on your hands and knees, with your shoulders directly over your wrists and your hips over your knees. Hold a dumbbell against the ground in each hand. Brace your core and extend your legs behind you, tucking your toes under to lift your knees off the ground and spreading your feet wider than shoulder-width apart.
  2. Pull your core towards your spine and squeeze your glutes as you lift the right dumbbell off the ground, pulling it to your right armpit. Make sure your right elbow is pointing up and your right shoulder blade is squeezing in. 
  3. Lower the weight to the ground with control, bracing your core and glutes. Do your best to minimize any rocking movement from side to side.
  4. Repeat the same on the other side. 
  5. Do 5 on each side. 

Alternating Dumbbell Punch

It’s best to use lightweight dumbbells for this—no more than five pounds. 

  1. With a weight in each hand, stand with your feet wider than hip-width apart, your abs tight, and your back flat.
  2. Lift both fists in front of your face, keep your core braced, and maintain a soft bend in your knees.
  3. Keeping the weight on your right foot, pivot your left foot, rotating your abdomen toward the right as you punch across your body with your left hand. The punch should be tight and controlled, with your fist about shoulder height and your core tight. 
  4. Bring your left hand back to the center of your body in a quick, controlled movement. This snap back to your chest should work your core and arm just as much as the punch out.
  5. Repeat on the other side and do 10 of each.

There’s nothing worse than having annoying flab on your arm, no matter how much you work out. Getting rid of stubborn arm fat can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. Here are a few things you can do to lose arm fat and tone your arm muscles in no time.

Healthy Diet

Eating a clean, healthy diet is the first and most important step towards losing fat. This often seems like a challenging task but it’s actually much easier than we usually think. To follow a healthy diet try to eat more protein, fiber, and veggies and try to cut down on trans fats and sugar.

Strength Train

Strength training is just as important as having a healthy diet because it can help you get rid of arm fat and get those toned muscles you want. Certain arm exercises such as tricep pushups, dips, planks, or bicep curls are all amazing for burning fat and toning arm muscles.

Get Enough Sleep

Studies have shown that getting enough quality sleep every day can improve weight loss and help control your appetite. That’s why good sleeping habits can also help you lose arm fat.

Cardio Training

Creating a balanced workout routine is always the safest and easiest way to achieve your goals, so make sure to fit cardio into your routine as well.

If you want to look perfect and fit this summer and get rid of those stubborn flabby arms, here are some of the best exercises that will help you tone them down.

Bent Over Row

This is a great weight training exercise that primarily targets your back muscles, but it will also help you improve your arm strength and get rid of flabby arms.

Push Ups

This is one of those classic exercises used for measuring strength and it’s great because it targets multiple muscle groups. Push ups will improve your upper-body strength and help you get those toned arms you always wanted.

Triceps Dips

This exercise is great for strengthening your chest and shoulders, but also your triceps. It’s a versatile move that you can easily do at home using a chair or your couch.

Tricep Extensions

Tricep extensions can do wonders for your arms because it’s an awesome exercise for both improving arm strength and toning your triceps. Naturally, this also means it’s great if you want to lose those flabby arms.

One-Arm Side Push-Ups

This is a bit more challenging push-up variation that may be intense at first, but it will definitely help you tone and strengthen your arm muscles in no time.

You don’t need weights to get beautifully toned and strong arms. You just need patience, motivation, discipline, and the right guidance. However, the right guidance doesn’t always mean you need to spend money on a trainer. You can just start out with these five alternative exercises, and you’ll be on the right track!

Push Ups

Bodyweight exercises can in fact be more effective at strengthening arms than lifting weights. Push-ups are one of the most common workouts for a reason. Do 3 sets of 10 daily, and enjoy the results.

Pull Ups

A very similar kind of workout to push-ups, pull-ups require you to pull yourself up on a horizontal poll or suspended surface. This uses your bodyweight to strengthen those arm muscles. Training with push-ups and pull-ups allows your arms to grow in proportion to the rest of your body. In this way, one could argue that they have a unique advantage over weight training.

Swimming

Few exercises surpass swimming for sheer effectiveness. If you swim 2-3 times a week, you will see massive changes to the power of your arms. Front crawl and breast stroke are particularly effective at working out the whole arms in conjunction with the core.

Exercise Bands

Simple, practical and effective, exercise bands allow you to work out your arms at any time and any place.

Climbing

Wall or rock climbing is very effective for strengthening the arms. It also works on your bodyweight, the same as push-ups and pull-ups do.
