Spring has sprung. Plus the joy of cherry blossoms, fluffy lambs, and…sleeveless dresses?
Back in 2010, a study found that 75% of British women dislike their upper arms more than any other part of their body. Needless to say, the problem here is not with the women or their arms. Still, since we don’t have time to get rid of centuries of social attitudes (busy with household burdens), perhaps it might be wise to focus on practical means that can make us all feel more positive and powerful.
Exercise is one way to go, and Trinny Woodall, British beauty entrepreneur, businesswoman and founder of cosmetics brand Trinny London, tells us exactly what she does to keep her arms strong, toned and toned enough to tackle sleeveless dresses.
In a recent Instagram video, she shared a routine she calls the “15-minute all-arms workout” that she does with personal trainer Natalie Hayward. “This is one of my favorite ways to set the tone for a busy day,” she said. “Whether you’re new to working out, slowly getting back into it, or just don’t have the time.” Here’s what it looks like.
biceps curl
Once warmed up, Trini begins with bicep curls while holding dumbbells to work bigger muscle groups. She does 12 repetitions, alternating sides (six on each arm). Stand straight with a weight in each hand, place your upper arm by your side, and bend your elbow to lift the left weight directly above your shoulder. lower with control. Then repeat on the other side.
reverse fly
Next, bend your knees slightly, shift your weight back at your hips, and lower your arms out in front of you. Natalie explains: “As you exhale, open your arms to your sides with a slight bend in your arms.” Think of lowering your shoulders and widening your arms firmly. ”
overhead press
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, palms facing forward, and elbows at a 90-degree angle. As you exhale, lift one arm toward the sky, and as you inhale, lower your arm to a 90-degree angle. Then switch to the other arm. Don’t forget to train your core!
lying triceps extension
Trini uses two 5kg dumbbells for this. Lie on your back, bend your knees and raise your arms straight up to the sky. Keeping your upper arms at a 90-degree angle to the floor, slowly lower the dumbbells toward the floor next to your ears. Next, raise your arms in a controlled manner and squeeze the back of your arms. Don’t forget to breathe!
board
When you’re doing a plank, “you’re working your shoulders, chest, and triceps,” Natalie explains. Hold for 20 seconds at first, then gradually increase to 1 minute as you get stronger.
Renegade Law
If you have heavy dumbbells, grab two (if you’re a beginner, you’ll also need lighter dumbbells to learn the technique). Get on all fours and while exhaling, raise your left arm at a right angle towards your left hip. Lower, then repeat on the other side.
Lateral raise
Holding a rather light dumbbell in each hand, stand up straight, keeping your hips and chin tucked in, shoulders back, and stretching the back of your neck. As you exhale, lift your arms to a 90-degree angle to the floor (keep your arms slightly bent). Lower while breathing in. repeat.
And finally…
