Scarlett has always loved feeling strong, and her arm toning and strength development exercises centre on her upper body workout. Lifting weights gives one something empowering, she says.
“It gives me the impression of handling everything.” Scarlett’s regimen shapes her arms, shoulders, and back by combining bodyweight exercises with classic weightlifting motions.
1. Push-ups (3 sets of 12 reps)
Scarlett swears on push-ups to develop her upper body generally. “They’re basic but quite powerful,” she says. She lowers herself under control, straightening her torso, then pushes back, exercising her triceps, chest, and shoulders.
2. Dumbbell Bicep Curls (3 sets of 15 reps)
Scarlett depends on dumbbell bicep curls for those elegant, toned arms. “I like to keep the reps high and really feel the burn using medium weights,” she explains. She raises the weights keeping her elbows tight to her body, using every repetition to engage her biceps.
3. Overhead Tricep Extensions (3 sets of 12 reps)
Scarlett includes overhead tricep extensions to target the rear of her arms. Working the triceps, she drops a dumbbell with both hands behind her head and raises it back up. “It’s a fantastic way to tone the arms without adding bulk,” she says.
4. Plank Shoulder Taps (3 sets of 20 taps)
Scarlett ends with plank shoulder taps, which not only works the arms but also the core. She keeps a steady body in a plank position by alternately tapping each shoulder with the opposite hand. “This one truly challenges your equilibrium,” she notes.
Scarlett has seen not only physical changes but also more confidence because she is committed to this schedule. “It’s all about feeling strong inside and out,” she notes. And that secret is worth sharing as well.
