) so this is something that takes about 5-6 minutes and you can do it while at work 'cuz that's how I did it. I got a dumbbell (I use personally an 8lb, but start with a light one, like a 3lb). Then do bicep curls (I do 15 each arm, minimum 3 reps), then behind the head tricep raises (holding the dumbbell, raise your arm so that your hand is up in the air, like you're trying to get a teacher's attention. Then let the dumbbell come down SLOWLY behind your head, then raise it back up again. 15 reps, 3 sets per arm). Took about a month, but I went from a 14" flabby jello arm to a 13" not-as-flabby jello arm in about a month (I do this whenever-I-remember, so 3-5 times a week). This honestly is VERY easy and takes little time. What *I* do is a set of bicep curls (right arm), then overhead tricep extensions (right arm), then bicep curls (left arm), then overhead tricep extensions (left arm), then stand up, do 25 body-weight squats, then 10 lunges on right leg, then 10 lunges on left leg. Sit back down, rest for 1/2 hour. Then do it again. So this ENTIRE thing will take probably 20-25 minutes, but by the end, I usually end up doing 3-4 sets on each arm (by the 3rd set, my arms are burning), and a minimum of 75 squats & 30 lunges / leg. It *DOES* work. Honestly. Really. And this is something that ANYONE can do if you have arms & legs that mostly work.« Return to the thread "January 2013 photos and chat"
