    If you are like most women, the question of how to tone your arms probably comes up quite regularly when discussing your fitness goals. Today we will answer this question for you with a sample workout designed to hit the specified area very effectively.

    Great results can be achieved in a relatively short time frame if you are smart with your actions, so don't be so quick to presume every short-term fitness concept is too good to be true. While you'll see thousands of people looking to learn things such as how to get a six pack in 3 minutes and it's easy to laugh at their longing for an instant solution to their problems, the truth is you can achieve fantastic results on any body part providing you train effectively in whatever time you have available for it.

    The workout today consists of only 5 moves: []

    * Front Deltoid Raise

    * Dumbbell Biceps Curl

    * DB Reverse Flye

    * Dumbbell Triceps Kickback

    * Press-Ups with a close grip

    You will be performing all 5 exercises without any rest, one after the other until the entire circuit is complete. Each exercise consists of eight repetitions so that gives you a mighty 40 reps to battle through.

    If you can get through the circuit four times, with a one minute rest period in between each round, then you will begin noticing results within a very short space of time. This is due to the high intensity level set by minimizing rest times as you move through each exercise.

    The main areas you'll hit with a workout of this type are the front and back of your shoulders, your biceps and your triceps. The triceps is the muscle which most women are concerned with as it's responsible for the problem many call 'jelly arm syndrome', where loose flabby skin hangs from the arm if it is elevated.

    If you were only to focus on training your triceps muscle you would achieve unbalanced results and your arms would look out of proportion. In order to maintain a good balance of tone throughout the entire arm area you should look to incorporate exercises which will also hit those surrounding areas of the shoulders and biceps as well.

    One of the main reasons this issue is still a concern for many women who already exercise is the weight that they choose to use when training with resistance. Many women stick purely to cardiovascular machines, while those who do train with weights are often too scared to increase the resistance to a suitable level for fear it might make them bigger. This is not something any lady should be concerned with, as females don't release anywhere near the required amount of natural testosterone to build significant amounts of muscle tissue.

    The reason a few women are able to get great results with weights while others struggle to see any improvement is because only a few are willing to put down the ridiculously light dumbbells and choose something which forces them to work hard to complete each set.

    So the next time somebody asks you how to tone their arms you now know that they do not need to spend countless hours in the gym to see results. Just a simple circuit which targets the triceps muscle, as well as the surrounding areas, can produce fantastic results in very little time.
