If you’re looking to get toned arms, there are a few key exercises you can do to target the muscles in your arms. These exercises will help you build muscle and definition in your arms, so you can show them off with confidence.

1. Triceps dips. Triceps dips are a great way to target the muscles on the back of your arms. To do this exercise, start by sitting on the edge of a chair or bench. Place your hands on the edge of the seat, and then shift your body weight forward so that your butt is off the seat. From here, lower your body down until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle. Be sure to keep your core engaged and your back straight as you lower down. Then, press back up to the starting position. Aim for 3 sets of 10-12 reps.‍

2. Push-ups. Push-ups are a timeless exercise that targets your arms, chest, and core all at once. They’re also a great way to build upper-body strength. To do a push-up, start in a high plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart and your core engaged. Lower your body down toward the ground, keeping your core engaged and your back straight. Once your chest touches the ground, press back up to the starting position. If traditional push-ups are too difficult, you can modify them by placing your hands on an elevated surface, like a kitchen counter. Aim for 3 sets of 10-12 reps.‍

3. Bicep curls. Bicep curls are a great way to target the muscles in your arms. To do this exercise, start standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and a dumbbell in each hand.

4. Triceps kickbacks. Triceps kickbacks are a great way to target the muscles on the back of your arms. To do this exercise, start standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and a dumbbell in each hand.

From here, slowly lift the dumbbells back up to the starting position. Aim for 3 sets of 10-12 reps.‍

5. Plank shoulder taps. Plank shoulder taps are a great way to target your arms, shoulders, and core all at once.
