I must admit, I’ve been slacking quite a bit during my workouts in incorporating my arms. I just have a really hard time working my arms out the right way to be honest, and since I have upper back problems, many times when I lift weights over my head, I have an extremely sore neck and shoulders the next day.

So, I do avoid arm workouts like the plague, and would much rather work my legs and abs any day of the week. But alas, my arms have become like mush, so I seeked out some help on good arm exercises that would lessen the strain on my neck and my shoulders, as well as my upper back. I think I found something that I like, and also something that apparently lots of female celebrities are liking as well.

I can’t remember what show I was watching, but a celebrity fitness guru was on the air talking about what her female celebrity list of clients likes to do most with their arms, or rather what she likes for them most to do to get sculpted, muscular arms in all the right place. She was talking about arm bands, thos one that you can bend and stretch, that create just the right amount of resistence, without you having to lug around heavy weights or take any compromising positions in your posture or handling of your stance that might increase risk of back and neck strain.

I tried it a couple times so far, after watching someone else being show by a trainer in my work gym how to do it. It is simple, but man I’m telling you, arm bands are definitely by no means easy. I could only do a total of about 8 reps and felt as though my arm muscles were already stretched to their max limit, and totally fatigued.

I can see why a celebrity fitness guru would want their clients to use this thing - it gets results fast because it is so intense and works the muscles efficiently to get results extremely quickly.
