What with this season's trends involving a number of sleeveless dresses, we want those arms bingo-wing free!  And you will be if you work the three muscle groups, biceps, triceps and deltoids which we have covered in these simple exercises.

Exercise One:

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, with your knees slightly bent and your arms by your side.  If you are in the gym use dumbbells or if you're at home use tins of food, i.e. beans or soup.  Holding your weights, face your palms forward with your elbows straight.  Making sure your back is straight, curl your arms up towards your shoulders and then slowly lower, do this 12 times and repeat 3 times (three sets of 12 reps).

Exercise Two:

Sit on the floor with your back to a chair, resting your hands with your fingers facing outwards.  Lift your bum off the floor with your legs straightened in front of you, put your weight on the heels of your feet and your hands.  Bend your elbows until your bum is just above the floor, once there, push back up until your elbows are straight.  Do this 12 times and repeat 3 times (three sets of 12 reps).

Exercise Three:

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart with your arms down by your side, hold a weight in each hand, again depending on where you are alternate between dumbbells or tins.  Pull your tummy muscles tight and raise both arms outward until they are at shoulder height and then lower.  Do this 12 times and repeat 3 times (three sets of 12 reps).

Get those arms aching as many times as possible and before you know it you'll be taking your jacket off at every available opportunity.
