When you look at photos of your profile, one of the first things you'll notice is the way your arms, shoulders and chest look in the pictures. If they look flabby, you can improve the way your profile looks by performing some basic upper body exercises.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Plan to work your upper body at least three times a week. If you want to really improve your profile, you need to spend some time getting toned. For each exercise, perform three sets of 12 reps.
Step2
Get your arms in shape. Work both your triceps and biceps to improve your profile. Perform basic bicep curls by standing up and bringing a pair of hand weights to your chest. For your triceps, do sets of kickbacks by extending your hand behind, leading with your elbow.
Step3
Perform a series of chest exercises. To work out your chest to get a better profile, do the basic chest press and chest fly. For a chest press, you lay flat on your back and lift a barbell above your chest. With a chest fly, hold hand weights with palms facing over your chest. Move your arms out to the sides until level with your chest and then bring them back in.
Step4
Tone the shoulders. An overhead press is a simple exercise you can do to work out your shoulders. Take the barbell and rest it against your neck. You'll then lift it over your head until you complete the set of reps.

Tips & Warnings

  • Remember to switch up your routine to keep your workout interesting. Learn new exercises, try new machines at the gym and adjust the amount of weight you use.
  • You should drink plenty of water and remember to eat well while weight training. Sip water throughout your workout and eat a healthy snack before and after lifting weights.
