By Steve Junto


Are you suffering from flabby arms? Are you looking for amazing exercises to slim down your arms? Then keep reading.... Because there are no magical solutions apart from the exercise that can gives you slick and sexy arms. Toned arms not only help you to wear old dresses but also make you more presentable and appealing to others! But the most important thing is - you must need a solution that gives you long-term effect and exercise is the only way! However, here is a brief exercise guide that keeps arms more attractive, slick and sexy:

Dumbbell Curl - this is one of the best and most effective bicep exercises that make huge improvements in your biceps. It is being used for several years by the bodybuilders and fitness instructors to keep the bicep strong. There are several variations of this exercise also available and depends on the requirements, fitness instructors used it. The process of Dumbbell curl is quite simple and straightforward - stand up straight and hold the dumbbells in each hand and keep your elbow close to your side, move your wrist to forward and pull each dumbbell with the number of times ("sets"). Usually 6-10 times each hand. Dumbbell incline curl is similar to normal dumbbell curl, the only difference is - you just need to seat 40-60 degrees on an incline bench and do the rest with previous dumbbell curl.

Triceps Dips - triceps dips can be performed in two ways - backward and forward. Usually forward triceps dips can be performed using gym equipment. Backward triceps dip also known as - bench dip (both exercises fall into body weight exercise category). Another variation of triceps dips also available and widely used by fitness instructors called - kneeling. For triceps dip - grasp the dip bar tightly and mount your shoulder - now put your body down and push up using your hand. Put your body weight in your hand and continue the process. In kneeling - instead of legs, bend your knee and repeat the process. Bench dip is something different than the previous two exercises. You'll place yourself in two bench and push away one bench slightly to your leg's length and place your heels in it, and place your hand on the edge of another bench and finally, lower your body and bend your arm until your legs stretch. Keep pressure on your palm and push your body upwards. Repeat the exercise according to your fitness instructor's guide.

Resistance Band Curl - resistance band curls are a medium intensity exercise. The most interesting thing about resistance band exercise is - you can do lots of exercises with the bands. You can take the resistance bands nearly anywhere and perform the exercise. You can buy a branded resistance band from the local fitness store or you can buy online. However, resistance band curls are simple, but effective to perform. You'll stand straight and place the resistance band under your feet and hold the handles tightly. Finally, curl the handle like dumbbell curl (curl your hand towards your shoulder). If you feel the band does not give you the desired resistance, then you can hold two light weight dumbbells in your hand to perform the exercise.

Lastly, it's important to remember that doing only bicep exercises doesn't give you the best results. While creating your exercise routine, it's important to remember that you should also designate workouts for your shoulders, forearms, and core as well.
