]]>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.
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.
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.

]]>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.
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.

]]>Burnout is right – this 15-minute arm-kicking workout by Cassey Ho, the pilates instructor behind Blogilates, will have you feeling the heat in no time. It includes 10 movements performed for 1 minute each to effectively target all of the major muscles in your arms, chest, and upper back.
If you’re still not convinced that you can get an effective arm workout without equipment, we dare you to give this video by Holly Dolke a try. It’s only 7 minutes, but wow, is it effective! With consistent practice, you’ll build strength in the muscles of the upper arms and shoulders and see a noticeable difference in their appearance in no time.
This video is part of a 2-week challenge created by fitness instructor Daniela Suarez, though you can also do it on its own on an as-needed basis. It’s designed to be beginner-friendly, though that definitely doesn’t mean you won’t be feeling the burn. To really turn up the heat, try performing some or all of the movements while wearing wrist weights.

]]>Stand in a squat stance and take the pilates ring between your open palms and straighten your arms in front of your chest. Squat down and squeeze the ring between your palms, feeling the resistance in your chest. This exercise works on your legs, glutes, shoulders, and chest muscles.
For this exercise, you can either put your ankles inside the ring or balance on the outside. Inside will work the outside of the thighs and outside you will be working your inner thighs. Lie on your side, using one arm on the floor for balance, and lift both legs up and down. You will also feel it in your waist.
Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the floor, put the ring between your knees and squeeze it a little to keep it in place. Lift the glutes off the floor, vertebrae by vertebrae, squeeze the ring as you go up, and release as you go down. Make sure you are engaging the core throughout the entire movement.
This is a core finisher! Lie on your back with your legs straight in the air, put the ring between your ankles and lower your legs so you feel resistance in your core, but don’t curve your lower back. Lift your head, neck, and upper chest, and straighten your arms to the sides of your body. Pulsing the arms up and down in time to your breath, turning the palms upwards and downwards with the inhale and exhale. So five inhales and five exhales, 10 times and you have the pilates 100!

]]>You can do this while standing up, being on your knees, with or without weights. Start making circles with your arms, then do the same in the opposite direction.
The best way to do the curls is with small weights, one in each hand. If you ever feel like you need an extra challenge, simply get bigger weights. You will be moving only the lower half of the arms towards the shoulder.
Planks are not only among the best pilates arm moves, but they are also amazing for the whole body. By getting into a plank position you are working the core, upper body, including shoulders, arms, backs, and a part of your legs.
Upright rows, or also known as zip-ups are very simple and very efficient. Take the weights in your arms, with the palms facing towards the back. Start bringing your arms up, and the elbows should be pointed outwards.
