Ladies, don’t ignore biceps training thinking you will replace your flabby arms with unsightly, manly muscles. You won’t!

What you will develop is a beautiful pair of strong and sexy arms that you’ll want to show off in a spaghetti strap dress or a sleeveless top. Toned arms will give you a boost of confidence and you’ll appreciate the increase in strength when toting the tot, hauling a heavy briefcase, or collecting an armload of garden pots.

And during your resistance training, don’t neglect working on your diet as well, which contributes to flabby arms. Bicep exercises will build the muscle underneath the fat, but won’t get rid of it. In order to see more tone and definition, you must get rid of the fat just like any other area of your body—and that’s done through more cardio (jogging, biking, etc.) and eating a proper diet.

So get started on an ongoing routine to develop greater size, strength, and shape in the biceps and in the rest of your body. Work slowly and with enough weight to grow the muscles safely and correctly. Make weight training a lifetime habit and enjoy those great looking arms.

1. Lighten Your Load: Lift Weights to Lose Weight

Before your eyes glaze over at the idea of weightlifting, keep in mind that it takes just a few short sessions of resistance training each week to improve muscle tone by adding lean tissue.

Weight training helps you build muscle which turns your body into a fat burning machine since each pound of muscle you make burns about 30 to 50 more calories than a pound of fat which burns only 3 to 5 calories—a tenfold increase!

Strength training accomplishes a number of other health benefits too, including lower blood pressure, improved resting metabolism, increased bone density, better posture, less back pain, and enhanced performance in sports.
