Michelle Obama’s Arms Get Attention

Now I have even more incentive to do more cardio type exercising. I have got to get on the move so I can have arms as shapely as Michelle Obama! My first thought is to start exercising my arms but trainers state that arm exercises alone are not enough to get toned arms. I know that spot reducing does not work. You must get rid of body fat from the entire body. Ugh.

Maybe I shouldn’t have sold my Wii Fit. Using dumbbells (five pounds or more) and doing 12 to 15 of each exercise — bicep curls, tricep kickbacks to exercise the back of the arm, shoulder and lateral raises should do the trick. Those exercises along with the cardio already mentioned are the key to great arms like Michelle’s.

   Yeah, I should get rid of body fat from the entire body first.

   You could also try doing some pull ups, this may broaden your shoulders though. I think that 20lb dumbbells would do the trick if you just want to convert body fat to muscle. I think Michelle Obama just has thin arms to begin with. Regards!

   I think it’s great to have a first lady who takes pride in her fitness. She’s a great example for all of us, especially our girls.
