Exercises for toning arms for summer?

leslielightfoot

I am still in the process of losing weight. Ive lost around 24 lbs and have about 30-40 lbs more to go.
I've always hated my upper arms. I never wear sleeveless shirts.

I am doing Jillian Michaels Shred with Weights and sometimes do her 30 day shred video. I combine this with daily cardio (usually Zumba for 45 minutes).
i would like to add in some arm exercises to tone and also to work on that wobbly area underarm that has appeared a bit as I've lost weight.
i have 1 lb weights and 5 lb weights, as well as 5 lb kettle bell and 10 lb kettle bell.

Any reps or a link you could recommend to show me a list of reps i could do daily to help my arms out.

Thanks,
leslie

my arm work outs are:
push ups (duh)
bicep dips (on the edge of a chair, couch, bench in the park, etc)
tricep curls (with at least 5lbs)
tricep extention (hold a 5lb overhead, straight arms, use both hands on weight, slowly lower weight behind your head only bending at the elbow, keeping your upper arms straight by your ears)
kickbacks (hinge at hips, keeping arms straight next to your body, bring weight forward and back, slightly higher than your back on the back lift)


Those are the basics things I know I can do at home. I put and interval timer on my phone and I do four sets of three. I pick three, do each of them 1 minute each, and repeat that four times.

Burpees and planks are also good for your arms as well as other stuff.

Some corrections: It's tricep dips and bicep curls.:flowerforyou:

But these are good basic arm exercises.
