Don’t fear the double wave

Does your idea of a beautiful bride include sculpted lean arms in that Vera Wang sleeveless wedding dress of your dreams? I can help your dream become reality with three easy exercises that can tighten and tone your arms in the comfort of your own home. Unfortunately, your on your own with the Vera Wang original. Here are a few easy tips to help you accomplish your dream wedding. These exercises do not require big bulky equipment, a chair, some dumbbells, and a little open space will do the trick.

          Exercise #1 a hammer curl with a shoulder press.  To do this exercise slide to the front of your chair, tummy tight, and elbows pinched tight to your side.  Curl your dumbbells to your shoulder, and then press them over your head.  This exercise works your biceps, triceps, and shoulders.       

          Exercise #2 triceps chair dips, to do this exercise slide to the front of your chair with you’re hands down by your side on the chair knuckles facing away from your body.  Slide your rear off of the chair, back nice and straight, and feet out in front of you bend at the elbow dropping your rear, and push up with your triceps, this exercise focuses on the triceps, but also works your shoulders. 

Exercise #3 bent over dumbbell rows, this exercise works your biceps, back muscles, and your rear shoulder muscles.  Seated on the edge of your chair bring your chest toward your knees, head up holding the dumbbells down by your ankles, and in one single rowing motion pull the weights up toward your hips squeezing your shoulder blades together.  There you have it the three exercises that will give you beautifully tone arms. 

          If you commit to doing these three exercises three times a week, you will start seeing results within 3 weeks.  Here is a sample workout routine. I recommend that you multi-set these exercises to maximize your results and time.  Multi-set means to do each of these exercise one after another with minimal or no break.  Do each exercise for 3-4 sets for 15-20 repetitions. 

Workout routine:

3 sets x 15-20 repetitions Curl and presses.

3 sets X 15-20 repetitions Triceps chair dips.

3 sets x 15-20 repetitions bend over rows.

After each round of exercises rest for 20-30 seconds and then repeat the exercises.

If you want a full body workout that will have you bikini ready for your honeymoon just include a leg exercise (i.e. chair squats: stand up with your head up, chest back bend at the hip, and lightly touch your rear to the seat and then repeat.), and an abdominal exercise (crunches) to your routine.

Full Body routine:

3 sets x 15-20 repetitions of curl and presses.

3 sets x 15-20 repetitions of chair squats.

3 sets X 15-20 repetitions Triceps chair dips.

3 sets x 15-20 repetitions bend over rows.

3 sets x 20-25 repetitions of crunches.

There you have it, no more excuses! It’s really that simple.  The big day is quickly approaching, be proud of your beautiful lean arms and look amazing in your wedding gown.  Bury your fears of the wave that just keeps on waving, and display your graceful arms that beam femininity.  If you have trouble keeping yourself accountable, or want help with your form seek out a professional personal trainer to push you and help you reach your goals.
