Exercises to tone arms

It's easy to tone up your arms and shoulders with these simple exercises. Wave goodbye to bingo wings and get ready to show off new slender shoulders.

Peek a boo

One great way to combine exercise with playing games with your baby. Stand away from the cot, holding onto the side - make sure the cot is a sturdy one. Bend your elbows outwards while taking your body towards the cot, keeping your body straight, and saying 'boo' as you peek over.

Your baby will love playing 'peek-a-boo', and this easy press up will help you tone up those arms.

Tone up!

Stand with your back against a wall then take ½ a pace away. Put your hands flat against the wall behind you and push as hard as possible, holding for 10 seconds. Repeat 3 times and you'll soon feel the burn.

Requires will power

Stand with the wall on your right side. With your arms straight by your sides, take your right arm out until the back of your hand is touching the wall. Push it as hard as you can against the wall and hold for 10 seconds. Rest, then repeat 3 times and feel your forearms really enjoying a workout. Don't forget to do the left.

Shoulder circles

Stand with your arms straight out to the side at shoulder height, and make small circles as fast as you can 20 times. Rest, then repeat 2 more times. Keep your shoulders pressed down.

For an extra workout, hold light weights in your hands.
