10 Minute Best Arm Workout

The Best 10-Minute Sundress Arm Workout

We love toning our arms anytime and anywhere. And with spring starting, we’re feeling motivated to sculpt our upper bodies! Strong arms can make you feel extra confident. They help you lift your kids, hug your girlfriends, raise that glass of vino to your lips and rock strappy sundresses.

This 10-minute arm-toning workout is the perfect routine for any occasion. Pair it with your favorite cardio workout, do it before a night out with your girlfriends or squeeze it in anytime you need a quick toning session. Be sure to pick a set of dumbbells that allows you to maintain great form to protect yourself from injury. For more tips on form, choosing your weights and toning your upper body, check out this post. And remember to always refuel those muscles with plenty of protein. We’ll be sippin’ on Tone It Up Protein smoothies all spring long.
