Sometimes it's difficult coming up with a routine for your home gym exercises, especially if you don't have much experience in a gym. However, there's no reason you can't get toned arms from the comforts of your own home. Shaping your arms from home is easy with these three exercises.
The first of the home gym exercises are hammer curls. Start by holding one dumbbell in each hand and keep your arms straight at your sides with your palms facing inward. Bending at the elbow with one arm, bring one dumbbell towards your shoulder and make sure your thumb is pointing towards your shoulder. In a slow controlled movement, lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position and alternate to your other arm.
The next workout is tricep extensions, which begin by straightening your arms and holding a dumbbell with both hands above your head. Lower the dumbbell until your hands are behind your head and even with the bottom of your neck. Extend your arms back up over your head and repeat. This should be a slow and controlled movement and you should avoid hitting the back of your neck with the dumbbell.
Finally, there is the lateral raise. Start by holding one dumbbell in each hand. Your palms will be facing inward towards your thighs and the dumbbells will sit slightly in front of your things. Do not lock your knees and make sure you are slightly bent at the waist. Keeping your arms to your sides and slightly bent, raise your arms until the dumbbells are even with your shoulders. Lower your arms and repeat.
Sometimes it's difficult to see the results by looking in the mirror. By using measuring tape and measuring your bicep and the large part of your forearm once per week, you'll start to see changes sooner.
Perform three sets of twelve of these home gym exercises every other day and you'll start getting the arms you desire in no time.
