Five minutes to fit arms

• 10 -15 tight arm circles forwards
• 10 -15 tight arm circles backwards
• 20 bicep curls
• 5 -10 tricep dips: use a chair
• 5 -10 push-ups: ladies ones are fine
• 10 -15 big arm circles forwards
• 10 – 15 big arm circles backwards
• 5 – 10 triceps dips

TIP: Start with what you can and build up as you get stronger. Swimming, boxing, ergo rowing, kettle bells, rebounding, barre, yoga and HIIT classes also tone arms.

Kettle bells are brilliant for toning arms.

Eating for your arms

• Focusing on overall weight loss is a better solution than targeting certain areas like your arms; rather use exercises to tone them.
• Eat more fibre like fruit, veg, whole grains, nuts, seeds and legumes to make you feel fuller for longer.
• Opt for healthy fats in moderation and try to eat salmon and flaxseeds for omegas.
• Add more lean protein to your diet.
• Drink lots of water and stay away from juice and fizzy drinks.
• Cut down on refined carbs; choose barley, quinoa, butternut and spelt instead.
• And, also important… make sure you’re getting enough sleep to keep your appetite in check.
