Common Misconceptions On How To Tone Up Arms

Figuring out how to tone up arms can be hard with all the free and subpar information out there. In fact, I believe that many women are utterly lost when it comes to finding the right approach.

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.

So here are some common misconceptions on how to tone up arms:

1. Exercising on a daily basis is the best approach. This is a great way to get an overuse injury. Please do not try to do this. After all, once you tweak a tendon or ligament, healing will take a very long time. You body needs proper rest.

2. Both arms should have equal strength. I’ve never worked with a client who had equal amounts of strength in both arms. Over time, however, the difference will go away. Do not assume that having a stronger arm means something is wrong with you!

3. I should be able to do 15 repetitions for every set in very workout. This will surely lead to arm toning failure! There are no cookie cutter rules here. In fact, you should strive to experiment with a wide variety of repetitions for maximum effect.

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. Being sore for days after is bad. Not really. It’s actually an indication that you had a great workout. Strive to maintain this level of intensity. Over time, levels of soreness will actually decrease.

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!
