Figuring out how to tone up arms can be hard with all the free and subpar information out there. In fact, I believe that many women are utterly lost when it comes to finding the right approach.
How do I know? Because I receive an inordinate amount of questions every day that reveal an epidemic of mass confusion.
But please don't blame yourself. After all, a lot of the confusion is created by savvy marketers. With endless products comes endless misinformation.
So without further delay, here are 5 myths on how to tone up arms:
1. You should exercise every single day. Do this and your body will not recover properly. The end result? Complete burn out of the mind and body. You have to rest, especially if you're lifting weights.
2. Something is wrong if one arm is stronger than the other. Nothing could be further from the truth, this is perfectly normal. Over time, this discrepancy will begin to fade. Just make sure that you do unilateral movements.
3. I should be able to do 15 repetitions for every set. 15 repetitions is not the magic number to tone up your arms. In fact, you should experiment with much lower repetitions to fully work all your muscle fibers. This will bring you accelerated results.
4. Getting tired during exercise is an indication of overtraining. Do not worry about getting tired when you are pushing yourself. This is normal and beneficial. Beneficial because the more you push yourself the more hormones your body will secrete.
5. Something is wrong since I'm sore 2-3 days after working out. This is perfectly normal and it's called delayed onset of muscle soreness. In fact, this is a positive sign since it indicates that you had a tough workout. And it will decrease as your diet improves and your recovery abilities improve.
Be wary of all the misinformation out there. Make sure that the information you are digesting is not coming from a questionable source. After all, unlearning something can be harder than learning something new. And if you want to tone up those arms, take action today!
