30-Day Arm Toning Challenge

Article by ChristyFollow me:

It's all fun and games until...it's sleeveless shirt seasonSummer is upon us, and that means sleeveless season is just around the corner. I don’t know about you, but my upper arms are definitely not ready to see the light of day!! It’s time to add a 30-day arm toning challenge into your workout mix to get your arms looking sleek and sexy!

Stay aware of your form at all times! It’s quality, not quantity that counts. If you find the daily totals too difficult to achieve, just do as many as you can, or break it up into smaller sets. Think the challenge is too easy? UP your daily sets! This workout is for YOU. Challenge yourself, but not to the point of injury.

The Exercises

Pushups:  Read this article on how to do a proper push-up, or modify push-ups to your individual fitness level.

Plank:  View plank demonstration video here!

Chair Dips:  View chair/tricep dips demonstration video here!

If you take a look at the calendar, you will see the numbers like this 8/30s/10. That would mean you do 8 pushups, a 30 second plank, and 8 chair dips.

Days 1 through 15, you do two sets of each exercise. Days 16-30, you will do three sets of each exercise. The month will vary intensity on each day, and some days will be much harder than others. Rest days are provided every five days to give you a chance to let your muscles recoup. As with all of our monthly workout calendars, these daily exercises are intended to supplement your current fitness routine. Make sure to check with your doctor before beginning any fitness routine!

    Completely agree with you. Why are people still struggling to lose weight? It’s simple and it’s not rocket science.

    You need to BURN more calories than you are TAKING IN. Now in a perfect world this will be a lot easier than it sounds.

    However, with amazing and nice food literally around us everyday it’s hard to discipline yourself.

    To start losing weight, and to permanently keep it off, you need to make LIFESTYLE CHANGES.

    Take a 30 minute walk as soon as you wake up, while on an empty stomach.

    90% of the time eat CLEAN. For example if you have 4 meals a day, then 10% of that food can be whatever you want it to be.

    Do weight training 3x per week only. This will keep you motivated for the long run.

    Hope this helps. When I lost weight at the start of my journey this is what I used:

    Does 15s mean 15 seconds for the planks? Of 15 planks holding as long as you can

    Over-unders are really good for building out the lean shoulders you want for summer as well, It’s kinda like a push-up that transitions into a down-dog yoga pose. It’s a solid move, it flows and engages all the muscles in your arms. The warmup that Freeletics encourages starts with jumping-jacks, over-unders, squats, and a few others that totals no more than 5-7 minutes.

    Wenn Sie jetzt wieder mit gesunder Ernährung einsteigen, dann bleiben Ausnahmen ohne ernsthafte Folgen.
