Workout of the Week: Sculpt Your Arms!
I’m back from Taiwan for a week now – sorry for the hiatus. This week’s workout of the week is to focus on your arms. I envy women with toned, beautful arms. I am definitely working on my ‘chicken wings’ – yes, there’s a reason why I pose with my hands on my hips 
Anyway, I really admire these celebrities and their toned arms. My goal is to have a lean, toned arm in 3 months – not necessarily chunky, even though it’s a little muscular right now (from my pole dancing!).

Women’s Health has a good article on how to sculpt those sexy arms. Here are the moves that you should incorporate into your workout:
Works Shoulders
Grab a 5-to 8-pound dumbbell in each hand and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides (A). With arms straight but not locked, raise the weights in a V shape until your arms are parallel to the floor (B). Hold for 1 second, then return to start. Do 12 to 15 reps. Tip If you arch your back or swing the dumbbells for momentum, use less weight.
Works shoulders, upper back, and biceps
Grab a dumbbell in each hand and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Hold the dumbbells just above your shoulders, palms facing each other (A). Press the weights up until your arms are straight overhead (B). Hold for 1 second, then take 3 seconds to lower the dumbbells back to start. Do 6 to 8 reps.
Works core, shoulders, upper back, biceps, and triceps.
Grab the dumbbells and get into the top of a pushup position with your hands on the weights and your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart (A). Bend your right arm and raise the dumbbell to chest level, pressing the left dumbbell into the floor for balance (B).Lower the weight to the floor, then repeat the move on the left side. That’s 1 rep; do 6 to 8.
