The temperature is hot almost everywhere right now, which means we are all spending more time in tank tops and bathing suits right now. This is a great time to show off your strong arms from your hard work in the gym. I love a good arm workout, because my arms tend to build muscle more quickly than other areas and it makes me feel strong!
If you’re looking to build muscle and strength, I’ve got an arm workout to share that you’re really going to enjoy. This workout targets not only your biceps and triceps, but adds in a little shoulder work to help add shape and definition to the entire upper arm region.
You’ll also notice the addition of plyometric exercises (jump rope and box jumps) in this workout. These exercises will activate several muscle groups at once & increase your heart rate – which helps to improve fat loss and endurance. Combined with a proper nutrition plan, this will help you be able to see those muscle gains more clearly.
