Time and time again, I get asked, “Jacob, how do I seriously tone my arms?!”. Summer is around the corner, sleeves are getting shorter, and that question is finally going to get answered for you. Check out my video below on how to achieve your perfect, toned ‘Summer Arms’. Do 10-12 reps of each exercise, go through all 8 exercises (if you want more in the front and back of the arms, add in tricep kickbacks and bicep curls multiple times each set) and repeat 2-3 times.

A few important notes:

• The bicep curl is the quintessential arm exercise. It tones and strengthens the front of the arms, which many people associate with the ability to “flex a muscle.”

• The triceps are what people are referring to when they say that their arms are flabby. This is the part of the arm that jiggles when you wave. In order to tighten this area and reduce "jiggle" it’s necessary to strengthen the backs of the arms. The most basic dumbbell exercise to accomplish this is a tricep kickback.

• Looking for bulk in addition to tone? “While it’s true that compound exercises do work your arms to some degree, the addition of direct work to a decent muscle-building routine can often make a big difference to your rate of growth,” says PT Christian Finn.
