I love working out with my friend, LaToisha McLendon! I know that every time we work out together, it will be fun and effective! Toisha is a personal trainer in Dallas and is AMAZING! I know several of her clients and have witnessed their own personal improvements in such a short amount of time! I have known Toisha since college and throughout the years. I’ve seen her challenge herself physically to achieve her own personal goals. She is seriously such an inspiration.
This month, I took her Arm Sculpting Fitness Challenge and experienced incredible results. My arms were one of the most difficult area of my body to tone and sculpt after my first pregnancy, but this 30 day challenge really worked for me.
Sharing the workout with you today on my blog below. Try these exercises for 30 days, and let me know what you think about your own results! I encourage you to be consistent during these 30 days for better results. This work out can be done anywhere, even while on vacation.
Four Exercises to Sculpt and Strengthen your Arms in 30 Days
- Shoulder Press – 4 x 15
– 3-5 weight
-Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand.
-Bend elbows, bringing hands to shoulders, palms facing forward.
-Press weights straight overhead, keeping shoulders down; lower weights back to shoulders.
- Bent Over Reverse Fly 3 x 15
3-5 lb weight
– Holding a dumbbell in each hand, stand with knees slightly bent. Keeping your back flat, bend forward at the hip joint.
– Exhale and lift both arms to the side, maintaining a slight bend in the elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Then, with control, lower the dumbbells back toward the ground. This completes one rep.
- Triceps Dip 4 x 15
-Elevate yourself up onto a bench, chair or step as long as it is stable and secure to take your body weight.
-Hands should be shoulder width apart fingers facing forward and elbows pointing backwards with a slight bend in the elbows.Legs extended out in front of you with a slight bend in the knee.
-Slowly lower your body until your shoulder joints are below your elbows.
-Push back up until your elbows are nearly straight but do not lock them out.
- Modified Push-Ups – 4×15
-Begin on your hands and knees in a modified plank position. Your arms should be straight, with your shoulders above your wrists.
-Rest your knees on the ground (preferably with a towel or mat beneath them), legs together, with your feet suspended in the air
(a). Slowly bend your elbows and lower your chest to the floor, while maintaining a straight line from the crown of your head to your knees (b). Next, press upwards, engaging your chest.
I hope you enjoy your results from this 30 day challenge! If you would like to set up your own consultation or personal workout regimen with Toisha, you can contact her at michellefitness@gmail.com, or follow her on Instagram at @michellelfitness7 for more fitness challenges!
