Michelle’s arms get a lot of attention, usually becuase she’s showing them off in a sleeveless dress or blouse. Who can blame her? We would all love to have strong, toned arms. Here are a few tips from a personal trainer to get those Michelle Obama arms:
-Push-up: Get on knees or toes in the plank position. Arms should be at a 45-degree angle. Make sure hands are in alignment with breast bone. Come down as far to the ground as you can without touching. Push up and repeat.
-Dumbbell row: Choose a hand weight that is 8 to 10 percent of your body weight. Stand in a lunge position with body at 45 degrees and back straight. Keep elbows in close to the body and pull arm all the way up and back.
-Tricep push-up: Assume the same position as push-up but place hands in a diamond position.
-Bicep curl: Using a medium resistance band, stand up and slide band under feet. Hold the ends firmly and complete the curl by bringing the wrist as close to your shoulder as possible. Control the resistance on the way down.
-Overhead tricep extension: In a split stance, place back foot on resistance band and hold the ends above your head and behind you. Lower hands into 90-degree angle and pull straight into the air.
