Michelle Obama’s Arms
This is what strength training does for you…it gives you amazing, well-defined muscles. So many women shy away from strength training/weight training, fearing they’ll develop body builder-type arms. The reality is, women who are body builders not only train to extremes and discipline themselves religiously in their diet, but many also take additional supplements and drugs to achieve a female body builder physique.
Exercises, such as lateral lifts, biceps curls, and triceps extensions with weights, are what’s needed to achieve the kind of muscles that our First Lady has. She’s gorgeous and healthy. It’s a beautiful look. The only way to achieve such lean muscle definition is to use resistance (weights or bands.)
Don’t reach for the 3 pound weights unless you are just starting out. Challenge yourself. You can lift a lot more than you think you can. Biceps and triceps are load-bearing muscles, they can take the challenge.
Try these three exercises to achieve arms like our First Lady.
Lateral raises
Triceps extensions.
