How To Tone Up Arms Without All The Misinformation
Learning how to tone up arms for the first time can be somewhat difficult. Especially, if your source of information and guidance is dubious. And many women are lost amongst the sea of information.
I can tell because of all the emails I receive.
But please don’t blame yourself. After all, a lot of the confusion is created by savvy marketers. With endless products comes endless misinformation.
So here are some common misconceptions on how to tone up arms:
1. Exercising on a daily basis is the best approach. This is a great way to get an overuse injury. Please do not try to do this. After all, once you tweak a tendon or ligament, healing will take a very long time. You body needs proper rest.
2. One arm is stronger than the other, therefore something is wrong. This is completely normal. In fact, I’ve never worked with a client whose arms were equally strong. The good news is that over time this difference will equalize.
3. I should be able to do 15 repetitions for every set. 15 repetitions is not the magic number to tone up your arms. In fact, you should experiment with much lower repetitions to fully work all your muscle fibers. This will bring you accelerated results.
4. Getting tired during exercise is an indication of overtraining. Do not worry about getting tired when you are pushing yourself. This is normal and beneficial. Beneficial because the more you push yourself the more hormones your body will secrete.
5. Something is wrong since I’m sore 2-3 days after working out. This is perfectly normal and it’s called delayed onset of muscle soreness. In fact, this is a positive sign since it indicates that you had a tough workout. And it will decrease as your diet improves and your recovery abilities improve.
Please steer clear of all the marketing hype out there. Stick to unbiased sources of information and learning how to tone up arms will be that much easier. Only then will you get the sexy arms of your dreams!
