These tricep extensions will tighten your triceps which will create a great line in your arms to make them look toned and healthy. Hold a dumbbell with both hands behind your
-
head then straighten your arms to hold the dumbbell above your head. Lower back down to the starting position to complete one rep.
Make sure to use the amount of weight
-
you are most comfortable with. Start off light (3-5 lbs.) then begin to add more weight as you get comfortable.

You'll feel the burn with this workout in no time. Find a bench or chair that you can prop yourself up on and place your hands on the edge of
-
the bench, as your body faces outwards. Plant your feet out forward so that your lower half is diagonal from the floor and your butt is floating in front of
-
the bench. Lower your body as you bend your elbows until you can no longer bend. Once you've reached your maximum low point, push back up to your starting position.
-
This will trigger those triceps and create a nice burning sensation after a number of reps.

-
Not only will pushups target your arms, but they'll workout your entire body! Start by getting into a plank position with your hands placed directly below your chest and arms straight.
-
Your feet should be planted using the balls of your feet and your entire body should be in a straight line. Bend at the elbows to lower your body down to
-
just where you hover your chest over the floor. Then, straighten back up to your starting position and repeat for multiple reps.
Remember, form is key! Make sure not to arch
-
your back or stick your butt in the air in order to get the optimal workout.

This move will prevent you from your arm waving by twice as it will tighten up those biceps. Grab a dumbbell and hold it down by your side with your
-
forearm facing outwards. Bend at the elbow to bring the dumbbell up towards your chest and then lower it back down slowly to the starting position. Repeat for an equal
-
number of reps on each arm.
-
-
These are sure to make your arms look toned and beautiful. Grab a dumbbell with one hand and get into a lunge position and lean on something, such as a bench,
-
with your opposite arm. This is to create a diagonal line with your body. Hold the dumbbell down so that it hovers over the ground and then pull it back
-
to where your elbow points back and up, as if you are pulling the gas on a lawn mower. Repeat this motion for a number of reps then switch sides

Triggering your biceps, these will help you say goodbye to batwings. Holding a dumbbell in each hand, place your arms in a 90 degree angle on either side of your head.
-
Simultaneously, push your dumbbells up by extending your arms up above your head, then slowly lower them down back to starting position.
Make sure to take a breath at the top
-
and then slowly lower them back down. This will help you prevent injury and will help you get the most out of your workout.

This workout will work your entire body. Grab a kettle bell or a dumbbell and place it on the floor as you place your body into a side plank. Your
-
bottom arm should be straight, balancing and holding your entire weight. With the opposite arm, grab the dumbbell or kettle bell and pull it up to the top, extending your arm
-
straight to where both of your arms make a straight line. Slowly lower the arm back down and then repeat the motion for a number of reps. Switch sides to

Working your shoulders and arms, this workout will have you looking flawless in no time. You can complete this workout with dumbbells, a kettle bell, or a bar.
Holding the bar in
-
front of you with the palms of your hands facing inwards, pull the bar up by bending your elbows and pointing them outwards like wings. Once the bar reaches your chest,
-
lower it back down to the starting position to complete one rep. Repeat for multiple reps for an optimal workout.
-
-
This move will target your chest and arms at the same time. Find a pair of dumbbells and a bench to lie down on. Lie on your back on a
-
bench, holding your dumbbells in each hand, opening your arms out wide with your elbows slightly bent like a bear hug. Pull your arms in towards each other, bringing your
-
knuckles in towards each other. Once you've reached that position, slowly open your arms back up to their starting position. Repeat for a number of reps.
