This 7-day arms challenge is easy to incorporate into your regular workout schedule.
Women tend to focus on perky butts, slim thighs, and flat abs. But we shouldn’t neglect our arms in the process! Toned arms don’t just look great. Upper body strength comes in handy in our day-to-day lives. From housework to heavy lifting, strength is an advantage. This 7-Day Arm Toning Workout Challenge is easy to incorporate into your regular workout schedule. There are only two moves per day. You can do them before or after your regular cardio or weightlifting session. Perform each move for the prescribed number of reps and sets. Over the seven days, the two moves will get progressively harder. Your upper body strength will increase and your arms will tone up!
