As with almost any other part of the
body, un-toned arms are more likely to be caused by excess fat than
by untrained muscles � and the tops of the arms, like the hips, are
flab storages sites that are particularly common to women. This week
we focus on Sculpting Long, lean and lovely Shoulders.
Remember, toned shoulders and sculpted arms make dressing an
absolute pleasure.
Enjoy good health,

When working out it is best to train larger muscles first and smaller muscles
last. Training large muscle groups (thighs, chest, and back) will take a
majority of your energy; therefore you need to train your large muscle groups
when you are at your strongest. Smaller muscles (biceps, triceps, and forearms)
should be trained after larger muscles because they don't require as much energy
to train. If you train smaller muscles first then you will not have enough
strength left to train your larger muscles. |

Power
to change
Imagine that your life force is a battery. While
life drains your battery, life also ENERGIZES your battery. Your job, then, is
to make sure your battery stays charged. It is a two-step process. The first
step being awareness and the next being making the right choices.
Pen down factors that drain and energize your life, once you become aware of
them you are in the position to make choices. By recognizing the factors that
drain and overcoming them, you will discover that you possess the power to
change - immediately.

Sculpting Long, lean and lovely
Shoulders
Toned shoulders and sculpted arms make dressing an
absolute pleasure, and they also make your upper body leaner and stronger. They
take time to achieve, but rest assured it can be done � here's how.
As with almost any other part of the body, un-toned arms are more likely to be
caused by excess fat than by untrained muscles � and the tops of the arms, like
the hips, are flab storages sites that are particularly common to women. In the
first instance, it's important to try and shift as much of this extra weight as
possible � which is, of course, easier said than done. But there are subtle
extra ways in which you can enhance both your everyday movements and your
exercise routine to move things along. Maybe now is the time to renew your
interest in gardening: all that digging, raking and weeding can do wonders for
the upper arms!
Some aerobics classes can be stepped-up a gear by using free weights in some
routines, and gym machines like cross trainers score a double whammy by working
arms and legs at the same time. In the daytime, when you're walking briskly, try
and swing your arms a little to get some momentum going. The increased aerobic
exercise will benefit your whole body but the resistance work will help your
arms particularly. In the gym, try and do this on the treadmill, too.
If your excuse is your ever-present bag, it could be time to break this habit,
too. Rucksacks may call to mind camping trips, but you can get seriously
stylish, mini ones that will leave your arms free to move (and help your spine
and posture by distributing the extra weight evenly).

Good posture is vital. It affects your image and

we are, the better our posture. Read the complete article on The Basic
