Bench Dips are an exercise that uses your own body to tone and strengthen the tricep (back of the arm) muscle. I always get asked, women especially, How can I tighten up the back of my arms? Here is a very easy way to do it in the comfort of your own house with a simple dining chair.

Rio’s (Named After the Jesus Statue in Rio De Janerio) This is a Fantastic shoulder/upper arm exercise to help tone up and tighten. Start this exercise by standing up & holding 2 dumbbells (ranging between 5-12 lbs depending on strength) down at your side. Start the motion by raising one arm up and out to the side stopping when your shoulder height. You are going to hold this arm out in this position with your palm facing forward and thumb in the upright position. While holding this arm steady, take your other arm and raise it to the same height so that your arms are in a “T” position. Then lower the same arm you just raised back down. Repeat 10 times with each arm (remembering to hold the other one straight out from your body). Once you have finished ten reps with each arm do five slowly raising & lowering both arms together. Repeat this set 3 times taking 30 seconds to a minute between each set. This is another exercise that you can add to your arsenal to aid in weight loss and muscle toning.

The emphasis of exercising to lose weight has been exacerbated by shows like the Biggest Loser & Celebrity Boot Camp. As a National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer I am a huge advocate of exercise. However from my experience starting an exercise program to lose weight reminds me of fireworks; exciting but burns out quickly.
