7 Day Toned Arms Challenge: The Verdict

Do my arms look more toned? No, but I wasn’t expecting them to. My arms are stronger though but that could be due to a combination of arm exercises and the other exercises I was doing throughout the week. Planks require quite a bit of arm strength after all. It was a good exercise to start off the day and get me going though. I will be looking for another short exercise for this next week to keep me in an exercise routine.

Day Fourteen!

I have reached the 2 week point! Final day of the 7 min arm challenge. Also did 100 goblet squats

Day Eleven

Decided to go easy because I’m starting to get another cold and I was feeling a bit weak today. I’ve been worse but I’m not at optimum. I did 100 single legged squats, which were quite tough. Definitely feel the muscles you are working with that one. Also, halfway through the 7 day arm workout. Muscles near my shoulder are more firm. The rest remains the same.

Day Nine

My abs ache very slightly. Interesting because I thought I hadn’t worked them out at all... Anyway, did the 7 min arm exercises and 100 releve squats. Will have to go easy tomorrow as have a full day of work and Tuesdays are always exhausting.

Day Eight

I have started on Blogilates’ abs focus and yes, I can’t do most of the exercises. I have never liked core exercises. I avoid them as much as possible and this is probably why I have weak lower core. Not all my core muscles are weak because I can do crunches, although those aren’t good for my back so I have to avoid them too. Not really sure how effective this week will be. I’ll try my best. Don’t think I have strengthened those muscles in any way. 

The arm workout is simple enough. Body weight is a good way to strengthen arms, although lifting weights would result in building muscles faster. I’ll be moving soon but once I find a gym I’d like to try learning how to use the weights machines. I’ll have to do my research to ensure I do exercises that burn fat but don’t bulk me up.

Also, it’s day 3 of the 100 squats for 30 days challenge! Today it is 100 plié squats. Still nice and easy.
