Hi

Wow! What a great June we are having! By now, I'm sure most of you have got out your summer clothes, and are into your shorts, sandals, and sleeveless tops.

If you want your arms and legs to look great in you summer clothes, read on........

HOW TO GET NICE UNDERARMS! It's every woman's nightmare.....those "flappy underarms"! Most of us want to have nice firm looking arms, but we neglect to work this muscle, called the triceps. We seem to be always doing something that works the biceps, because we are always using our arms to lift and carry things, which tend to work the bicep, but not the triceps. So, if you want to strengthen the muscles at the back of your arms, you have to work them out! You can use dumbbells if you have them, but you can also improvise by using something you have on hand...like soup cans, that you can easily hold on to. Then, bend from the waist, and hold your arms along your torso, with the elbows bent, then straighten your arms to a full extension,(you will feel the muscles in the back of your arms contract), and return to the starting position. Repeat this action 12-15 times, rest for about 30 seconds to 1 min. and repeat. You can do this exercise two to three times a week, making sure that you have at least 48 hrs. between workouts. Note the picture on the left....your back should be straight, knees slightly bent, and keep your tummy tight. As you straighten your arms, breathe out, and as you relax, breathe in. When you can do 2-3 sets of 12-15 repetitions, then you are ready to increase the amount of weight. You'll notice a difference in just a few weeks!
