Seven Moves to Summer Arms

Spring is here and summer will be upon us before you know it! Are your arms bare-it-all ready? Do you have the confidence to wear those tank tops and short-sleeved shirts? Many of us tend to put on a little bit of winter weight and make New Year’s resolutions that are hard to keep, but that doesn’t mean you have to be discouraged for the upcoming warm weather attire.

With these simple exercises you really can have strong, toned arms in a minimal amount of time. These moves promise to produce lasting results in preparation for the warm seasons ahead. You don’t have to worry if going to the gym is just not an option for you! These techniques target those biceps, triceps, shoulders and back muscles, giving you the fit arms you are searching for, and all of them can be done in the comfort of your own home.

As a Barre 3 workout instructor and manager of Barre 3 Studio in Bend, Heather Olsen has plenty of professional expertise to share when it comes to finding the best way to strengthen and tone those arms. Barre 3 is rooted in three fitness disciplines — ballet barre, pilates and yoga — and is aimed at building long, lean muscles, a strong core, and long-term postural benefits.
