Home Upper Body Workout Plan: Get Rid of Flabby Arms Fast

These arm toning exercises will get rid of flabby arms fast. This 20 minute routine also burns a fast 200 calories thanks to all of the cardio intervals.


This home upper body workout plan can be done in your living room, and requires almost no equipment; you only need dumbbells or a resistance band (due to the high number of repetitions, you could probably even use a can of soup or a water bottle).

Workout Structure:
Do each of these bodyweight exercise for 60 seconds, with 20 seconds of rest in between. For most fitness levels, one full minute of each of these exercises is difficult. By the end of a full minute of some of these moves, your muscles will be shaking and it will be difficult to do another repetition.

Keep pushing yourself, completing as many of the reps as you can in the 60 seconds; it’s okay to slow down a bit if you have to. If you have to stop to take a break, just make sure to jump back in as soon as you can to complete the full minute. The cardio intervals are meant to give the arm muscles a break and increase the heart rate (as well as caloric burn and metabolism).

Jumping Jacks

Pushups

Bicep Curls

High Knees (Level 1) (Level 2)

Bent over Row

Tricep Dips

Lateral Jumps (Level 1) (Level 2)

Arm Circles (30 seconds in each direction)

Burpees

Plank Extensions

Cool down

Complete this routine twice through for a twenty-minute workout routine that blasts calories, provides allover body toning, and helps with toning flabby arms. Do the hardest version of the exercise that you can while maintaining proper form (notice that when you click on an exercise, there are multiple difficulty levels in the right hand margin of the video).

Pyramid Sets vs Reverse Pyramid Training vs Straight Sets

Hey, here’s a question. Once your overall workout routine is set up and you’ve figured out which exercises you’ll be doing and how many sets and reps you’ll do for each… how exactly do you structure it all? What I mean is, are you going to lift the same weight each set? Increase the weight from one to the next? Decrease the weight each set? Do more reps in later sets? Do less reps in later sets? Do the same number of reps each set? Or will you just wing it and hope for the best? If you do not have a good answer to this question (and “just winging it” definitely is not a good answer), or you just can not explain how the hell you came to the answer you do have, then you’re kinda being a dumbass because this is a surprisingly important aspect of your weight training routine. There’s actually quite a few methods for structuring the sets, reps and weights you’ll use for a given exercise, and some will definitely be more or less ideal for you than others based on your goals, experience lev
