Under Arm Exercises



Recommended Posts

I had the best arms of my life back when I was tossing hay bales up onto a wagon. so, getting a hay bale would be pretty cheap, but you've gotta toss it a lot, and then toss it back down at 5 am and 5 pm. works your core too.

I learned to drive a tractor so I could stop tossing up the hay bales - although it didn't get me out of the daily toss down year round.

Hand weights- I'm going to try and describe this-

Stand over something - maybe a desk, or countertop- and plant one hand firmly on the surface.

Take the weight in your other hand, and begin with your arm bent 90degrees, and now extend it back behind you.

Alternate to other arm.

Another one is to use hand weights with your arms down at your side, and extend them out away from your body- so you will be palms facing your legs, and then lifting the arms away from you to the side, so that your arm is even with your shoulder.

Those are two- is suggest a good Google search- or if you go to the gym- ask a trainer.

Resistance bands are awesome too!!!

As an aside, I do these exercises not only at the gym, but home, too. An ever-present need to prevent arm flab. Hell. Women have been using Soup cans for these exercises for years!
