Firm-up Flabby Arms

Standing Dumbbell Curl

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly
bent. Extend arms downward in front of your body and hold the dumbbells with your palms facing forward.

Using one arm only, bend the elbow and lift the weight to
your chest, keeping the elbow close to your waist. Pause
and slowly return the dumbbell to the starting position.
Repeat with the opposite arm.

Overhead Presses

Hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder level. Slowly
raise the dumbbells overhead and then lower them again. Use
a weight that allows you to do 20 repetitions for toning,
eight to ten repetitions for building muscle. Works the
shoulders and triceps (muscles at the back of the upper
arm).

I’d rather be a few pounds heavier and enjoy life.
