Learning how to tone up arms for the first time can be somewhat difficult. Especially, if your source of information and guidance is dubious. And many women are lost amongst the sea of information.
I can tell because of all the emails I receive.
Now before you kick yourself in the butt, understand that it’s not all your fault. You see, clever marketing and the endless promotion of bogus products has created a surplus of faulty information.
Thus, here is some misinformation to avoid when learning how to tone up your arms:
1. You should exercise every single day. Do this and your body will not recover properly. The end result? Complete burn out of the mind and body. You have to rest, especially if you’re lifting weights.
2. One arm is stronger than the other, therefore something is wrong. This is completely normal. In fact, I’ve never worked with a client whose arms were equally strong. The good news is that over time this difference will equalize.
3. 15 rep sets provide maximum arm toning. Well, not really. You do not have to do 15 repetitions for every single set you do. Instead, aim for a more varied number of repetitions so that you target all of your muscle fibers.
4. You should never get tired when working out. This is not true. And expect to get extra tired whenever you are breaking a personal best. The only time you should stop is if you start feeling queasy or sick. Otherwise keep on pushing through so that you get maximum benefit from your workouts.
5. If you’re sore a couple days after exercising, something is wrong! This simply means that you had an intense workout-just what you need to do to tone up those arms. And keep in mind that this delayed soreness will decrease as you eat better and your body learns to recover faster.
Be wary of all the misinformation out there. Make sure that the information you are digesting is not coming from a questionable source. After all, unlearning something can be harder than learning something new. And if you want to tone up those arms, take action today!
