"If you are interested in developing an exercise program to get stronger arms, I've got some great tips for you. This is Alice Monsaert and the first exercise we are going to do is a push up. A push up is a great exercise because it not only develops arm strength in the tricep, particularly the tricep but also the chest as well. We can do them in a modified position which would be on the knees. The hips roll forward. The spines stays in neutral which means the head has to stay lifted. The elbows go out to the side and you exhale as you lift up, inhale as you go down, exhale as you lift up. Avoid leaving the gluts in the air or sagging through the low back. So that is one great arm exercise to incorporate to get stronger arms. The others are done with free weights or dumb bells and you can do side lateral raises so standing with the feet hip distance apart, soften the knees, shoulders back and lift your arms to the side. You can also do that in an overhead press, again for the shoulders. You can change a range of motion to go to the side and you can also incorporate some bicep curls and tricep presses. All of these exercises are going to get your arms stronger but my advice is seek the advice of a personal trainer and they can help develop a program based on your initial fitness level and your goals. This is Alice Monsaert and you have a great day."
