One of the most coveted bodies in Hollywood is Madonna's. Ever since she reinvented herself as a fitness goddess with pilates and yoga, the world has taken even more notice of the Material Girl. Her arms are no exception, and some insiders say she has the best female arms in the business. Learn how you can get arms like Madonna and become the envy of your circle as well.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Take inventory of the way your arms are now. Measure them for width, and decide if you need to lose 1 or 2 inches.
Step2
Eat a high protein, very low carb (but not no carb) diet. Concentrate on fruits, vegetables and vitamin rich liquids; if necessary, consult your doctor for a vitamin supplement.
Step3
Do cardio at least 3 to 4 times a week to help burn excess fat. Take a pilates or yoga class at your local gym to start resculpting your body to look like Madonna.
Step4
Practice yoga poses like the crow pose, downward facing dog and firefly. Some of these poses are Madonna's favorites for strengthening her arm muscles. Integrate pilates for strengthening your core; this way, the rest of your body can catch up to your shapely arms.
Step5
Locate a gym with a Power Plate or something similar. Often robotic vibrating exercise machines can be found at tanning salons or female gyms. Madonna has become a huge fan of this magical machine.
Step6
Keep a healthy schedule and don't eat late or stay up too late as it can impede muscle generation.

Tips & Warnings

  • Work only 1 to 2 times a week with free weights or weight lifting at the gym, or you won't get the kind of definition Madonna has. She works with primarily her own body weight in yoga and pilates.
  • Madonna uses many herbal remedies to help boost energy. Ask your local pharmacist, doctor or herbal remedy expert about possibilities.
  • Quit smoking and try to drink only occasionally. These things slow down the growth process and make it difficult for you to maintain energy levels.
  • Try a macrobiotic diet if you really want to eat like the Material girl. However it can get pricey and difficult to accommodate, especially for an entire family.
