How To Tone Up Arms Without All The Misinformation

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Figuring out how to tone up arms can be hard with all the free and subpar information out there. In fact, I believe that many women are utterly lost when it comes to finding the right approach.

How do I know? Because I receive an inordinate amount of questions every day that reveal an epidemic of mass confusion.

Now before you kick yourself in the butt, understand that it's not all your fault. You see, clever marketing and the endless promotion of bogus products has created a surplus of faulty information.

So without further delay, here are 5 myths on how to tone up arms:

1. You should exercise every single day. Do this and your body will not recover properly. The end result? Complete burn out of the mind and body. You have to rest, especially if you're lifting weights.

2. Something is wrong if one arm is stronger than the other. Nothing could be further from the truth, this is perfectly normal. Over time, this discrepancy will begin to fade. Just make sure that you do unilateral movements.

3. I should be able to do 15 repetitions for every set. 15 repetitions is not the magic number to tone up your arms. In fact, you should experiment with much lower repetitions to fully work all your muscle fibers. This will bring you accelerated results.

4. If I get tired I should stop. Stop if you feel sick, otherwise keep on going. Bear in mind that when you push yourself really hard, your body secretes hormones that incinerate arm fat. There is no other way to get these hormones flowing.

5. If you're sore a couple days after exercising, something is wrong! This simply means that you had an intense workout-just what you need to do to tone up those arms. And keep in mind that this delayed soreness will decrease as you eat better and your body learns to recover faster.

Figuring out how to tone up arms does not have to be difficult. In fact, if you stay away from all the misinformation out there, it's much easier than you think. And the key here is to apply information immediately. Do not wait until tomorrow! - 26706
