As women make progress during weight loss toning this area of great importance to them. To start this exercise you will want to get your upper body parallel with the floor. You can do this by either bending over at the waist while standing with your feet apart or by bending over and placing your hand on a bench or chair, as long as your torso is as horizontal as possible. Grab a 5-12 lbs weight and hold it in one hand bring your arm so it is in line with your body, now bend at your elbow bringing the weight in your hand up towards your chest. Next, while keeping your elbow locked in tight to the side of your body extend your hand with the weight until your arm is straight, pause for a second and the end of the motion holding the weight up for a second and then return your hand to the starting position. Repeat this movement 8-15 times on each arm rotation after each set and repeat 3 times per arm.
