Fit Tips: Amazing Arms

Spring is here and in just a few short weeks, Summer will roll in — and that means tank tops and bathing suits! Which also means your arms will be on display — so why not get your arms toned and ready to flaunt as the temperature starts rising?

We talked to Rachel Cosgrove — author of The Female Body Breakthrough
, which includes a 16-week program with step-by-step training tips including tips to physically get amazing arms — about her top tips to getting toned arms quickly:

1. Resistance training is the key to sculpting amazing arms. Contrary to common belief, resistance training actually burns more fat than aerobic exercise and will give you the definition you are looking for. Prioritize your resistance training instead of your cardio to get the sculpted arms you want.

2. Don’t be afraid to lift weights. You must put a demand on your body that it is not used to in order to get it to change. Most women have a purse that weighs 10-12 pounds that they lift daily and many pick up a child that is 20-30 pounds without thinking about it. You cannot lift the same amount of weight that your body is already used to and expect it to change. Nothing says confidence like a woman with strong, sexy arms.

And…as a spokesperson for Secret deodorant, Rachel also advises to “arm” yourself with the right products! “While women may sometimes be less self conscious about sweating while they are at the gym, wetness and odor can be a big concern for women and can lower their overall confidence. I love Secret Clinical Strength Sport because it keeps me dry and smelling fresh no matter if I am working out or getting ready for date night with my husband,” she says.
