HOW TO GET TONED, SEXY ARMS
But my arms fluctuate like a motha so when I actually start to work on them, people notice pretty quick.
I've realized that it really doesn't take much for us girls to show off some lean arms, it's just that we never really give them enough work for them to change.
I get that it's December and everyone's in sweaters but STILL is there anything better than getting inside, taking your sweater off and being able to show off your super toned, sexy arms?
Unfortunately, my job missed the memo that it's WINTER so we're forced to wear sleeveless dresses, at night, every night, in 60 degree weather SO I've been a little more on my game in the upper body department.
Thanks work...I guess.

I mean, it makes sense right? We can't keep complaining that we don't like our arms and then admit to everyone that we only do spin class, you know? Doesn't really make sense.
So in three weeks I've managed to tone up thanks to a few exercises twice a week + my MRM supplement L-Carnitine....!!
Alright, start doing this 30 minute arm workout twice a week plus some cardio in between and you'll notice sexier arms in less than 2 weeks.
ARM WORKOUT:
PART ONE (set your timer for 7 minutes and continue to do these exercises until the timer goes off).
- 20 Push ups
- 15 Squats + Overhead press (10-20 pounds)
- 20 Triceps Dips
- 15 Burpees + a push up
PART TWO (set your timer for 7 minutes and continue to do these exercises until the timer goes off).
- 30 'Girl Pushups' (keep your feet lifted above your bum and your elbows in tight next to the sides of your body).
- 16 Commandos
- 50 Mario Carts (Hold a 10 pound weight directly out in front of you and rotate it from side to side like your steering a wheel. You will start to feel a burn in your shoulders).
- 15 Side lateral shoulder raises.
NOW...go back and do part one again, then move on to do part 2 a second time. The whole workout should take about 30 minutes.
HERE'S TRICK NUMBER TWO...
L-CARNITINE. This is a product that I SWEAR by from MRM-USA. I take a cap full every morning before I hit the gym and I TOTALLY notice a difference in my focus and energy, as well as how fast I tone up.
L-Carnitine is meant to basically start allowing your body to use your fat sources as FUEL during your workouts. This way you start to burn way more fat which allows you to slim down.
I've been taking it religiously for a few months now and I just started taking a cap and a half, but start with one for a while and notice how much different you feel!
If you want to get the MRM L-Carnitine that I use, then you can get it here for 40% off when you just use my code CHELSEY at checkout! 40% off! That's amazing!
TRICK NUMBER THREE:
As much as I know we want to just do a bunch of sit ups and get abs, I know people assume the same thing when it comes to arms, or getting a bigger ass. We want to think that we can do what is called "spot tone" which means we like to think that we can just do a bunch of squats and get a whole new ass or do a million biceps curls and get new arms.
BUT, as much as it does help FOR SURE, we still need to incorporate cardio. Cardio allows us to burn calories ALL OVERA OUR BODY. This will reduce fat in our arms, abs, and ass, all at the same time. Winning right?
So start doing 45 minutes of cardio every other day. You can run outside, swim, ride a bike, walk uphill on the treadmill, do the elliptical...whatever you want.
Monday - 45 minutes steady state cardio.
Tuesday - 30 Minute Arms Workout
Wednesday - Rest Day
Thursday - 45 minutes Steady State Cardio
Friday - 30 Minute Arms Workout
Saturday - 45 Minutes Steady State Cardio
Sunday - Rest Day
Let me know how it goes! XOXO
HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING "GAME"
This is my version of a game :) The point here is to work for TIME. Throughout this game you will run for a total of one mile and you will be doing strength training.
Make sure you record your time every time you do it and challenge yourself to improve.
You will run as far as you can for 2 minutes. As soon as you hit 2 minutes you will pause the treadmill or you will stop at that point on the track – this way you don’t lose track of how far you’ve ran. Then you will go into the circuit strength training and when you’re done with that you will pick up where you left off with running and run for another 2 minutes. You will continue this cycle until you complete one mile of running. SO if you run really slow for 2 minutes then it is going to take you longer to finish the mile meaning that you’re going to have to do more circuits. Get it?!
