How to Get Toned Arms?

gymsweaty-Health & NutritionEveryone dreams of having toned and well-sculpted arms. Like the abdominals and buttocks, the arms are a part of the body that unfortunately is often the first victim of weight gain or loss, poor physical activity, and advancing age.

The accumulation of fat on the arms is, in many cases, linked to genetic factors or hormonal problems. Therefore, the first rule to adopt is to change your diet and moderate your fat consumption.
Also remember that, in this part of your body, the skin is very thin and if you forget to hydrate it, it will become less and less elastic and toned. An excellent remedy to keep the skin of the arms hydrated is the constant use of almond oil, especially after a shower.
The ideal sport for excellence is swimming, especially breaststroke and freestyle, ideal for sculpting the muscles of the arms.
The best way to strengthen the arms is to combine an aerobic sport (jogging, walking, swimming, tennis) with toning exercises, with and without weights, to be performed at home at least three times a week.
But you can get toned arms, even by doing simple exercises at home. You will only need dumbbells or a kettlebell.
Below you will be listed and explained some simple exercises, to be done daily, to improve the appearance of your arms.
