Arm yourself, ladies!  Sleeveless shirts are NOT optional this summer! This year, show off your rockin’ arms!  Liz Kampschroeder showed us some great workouts that will have you looking great in your summer wardrobe.

Liz’s Tips:

Resistance bands work muscles in both directions
12-15 reps per exercise, three times for toning
Target shoulders, triceps, biceps
Exercises: Side lateral raises
Bicep curls to tricep kick backs
Overhead press
Tricep press backs with a band
Push ups on knees for deep range of motion

Cardio exercise is also important for 30 minutes a day, as is balanced diet, limiting sugars, empty calories and balancing carbs, fats and proteins on your plate during each meal.
