Question

I have never been to gym. However, I enjoy dancing. I hardly have muscle on arms. How can I tone my muscle? Thank you.

Answer 1

Carrying just a light weight will help.1/ A can of soup in each hand,bend at your elbow to your shoulders and then 2/ hold straight out and once again, bend at your elbows to your shoulders.Do a group of each of these each day and it should help.3/ Take your arm, bend slightly forward with your body and with the weights, lift your arm straight up behind you.Switch from one arm to the other. Careful, you will feel this one.

Answer 2

The arms are a great place to start because they tone up quicker than most others which will give you the enthusiasm to follow-up with the lower body too. Push-ups are a great way to tone up your entire upper body including arms, shoulders and chest muscles. Some people hate them because they're difficult at first. If you've never done them, it may seem frustrating, but if you stick to it you'll notice a big difference quickly and as you progress and can do more push-ups you'll feel empower to do other things. Try to do a push-up with your feet together, body in a straight line and with your hands supporting your weight directly under your shoulders (fingers pointed forward). You can also go wider for more work on the upper back, or closer for more work on the chest. Do as many as you can. It's normal to have hard time when you start out. Even if you can't do any, put your knees on the floor, keeping your back straight and try it that way. Do as many as you can, then stretch. It's also a good idea to warm up (take at least a 5 minute walk). Do as many as you can in a row, take a short break and try again. Do this every other day because your upper body muscles need a day off in between. Try this for 2 weeks (that's only 7 times) and you WILL notice a difference. Good luck

Answer 3

Start off with a 3 lb. or 5 lb. weight and find some exercises online to help tone your arms. The weights will cost you less than $20 and you can do it all at home in front of the tv and on your own time. If you do it right and frequently (at least a few times a week), you will start to notice a difference in muscle tone.

Believe it or not, housework also helps. If you are doing a repetitive motion such as dusting and vacuuming, or lifting objects, you are also toning your muscles without realizing it.

Just so you know, one of the hardest places to tone is the area underneath the arms near the armpit. Make sure you are working out both your biceps and triceps. Some women only work out their biceps and still have "bat wings" from not working out their triceps.

Here's some exercises.

You can do all sorts of stuff without having to go to the gym. Dancing is a very good way to tone muscle. You may also want to look into some light weight lifting (you can go to the store and get little dumbells), yoga, pilates, and some cardio (running, walking, dancing, etc.).

As for the pilates or yoga, you could always pick up a DVD and do one of them 3-4 times a week. Very relaxing and it keeps you in shape!

Good luck! :)

1. Crunches. Crunches, performed correctly, are in our estimation the single best exercise you can do to build separation in the rectus abdominus that is commonly referred to as the "six pack" because of the appearance of six distinct slabs of muscle when the possessor contracts the muscles of the stomach.

2. Leg raises done with a body curl. Why the body curls? According to Charles Poloquin, "The anatomy of the rectus abdominus is such that your torso needs to bend backwards approximately 15 degrees to develop maximum tension in the abdominal muscles." Adding the body curl at the end of the leg raise helps train the muscles of the back to be protective during exercises such as military presses or cheat curls.

3. Rope crunches. Another great exercise for creating maximum time under tension, while allowing for a full range of motion without the restrictions of the floor or bench as with many ab movements. Remember, just like in leg raises, rope crunches should not be just an up and down movement, but rather a curling exercise. Curl your head into your body for the maximum contraction. Watch that butt! Don't sit back, curl!

4. Swiss ball ab work. Some of you hardcore babyboomers are thinking, "Swiss balls?No way!" Even a certain Mr. USA had to be convinced. But, swiss balls provide unrestricted movement, at the same time recruiting core muscles necessary to provide balance during the movement. Two favorite swiss ball exercises include crunches and leg raises. For crunches place you toes up against the wall, position you butt on the ball and crunch. Remember; don't just move those hip flexors. For leg raises, place a Smith machine bar slightly above waist height, hold on and position your butt on the ball while in a reclined position. Now, perform your leg raises. This is a very humbling exercise, so just start with one or two sets when performing this exercise for the first time.

Answer 6

The question is kind of vague. It depends what muscles you want to tone. If you want to tone your arms, google "tricep exercises" and "bicep exercises" and you will see different exercises that can be done to tone those arm muscles. If that doesn't work, go to a local gym and ask someone there, preferrably a certified personal trainer.

Answer 7

Easiest way is to add weights. At home work outs, you can grab a couple of cans of fruit or beans or whatever or get some strap on arm and leg weights. You can wear them around the house doing chores or walking the dog and it adds enough strength training that you don't even notice till you take them off and your limbs feel like they are floating! Want more fun? Crank up the tunes and wear them or hold the cans and dance your heart out. Dont forget to sing along!

Answer 8

Break-dancing

Hi Cutie Pie: Do what I do. Get a good bike. You get cardio, weight training ( isometrics) leg and arm training. When your on campus you'll get to and from classes alot faster.
Increase your work out by keeping your gears in high. Up and down hills. Make sure you have good brakes. Plus you will love the freedom and helping the environment.

Answer 10

The intercourse does not be awkward. And as others have pronounced, basically because of the fact he's 6'2 and heavy does not recommend that he is going to have a brilliant penis. the only uncomfortable area with reference to the intercourse act between those 2 human beings is that she is a virgin and the guy will could flow it sluggish and comfortable. do not difficulty with reference to the certainty that he's greater suitable (weight/height). maximum adult adult males (that are first rate), carry their bodyweight up with their palms, consequently, he won't weigh down the female if he's a first rate guy (smile).
