Tips to sculpt strong and muscular arms

Extensions to back:

Position yourself standing, step forward with your right foot and flexing your knees, stretch your left arm back until it takes a horizontal position on the ground, or it reaches the level of your shoulders. Breathe in and out while the arm muscles tense. Repeat 10 times, reverse the position and do the same exercise with your right arm.

For your arms to have a youthful and smooth appearance, it is important that you look after your skin too, as well as exercise. In order to do this, there are several methods that can help you:

Exfoliation:

A mitt is a useful tool to exfoliate, as it removes dead skin cells and other bumps that appear in this area. The mitt should be used dry, always in the shower, and you can use it once or twice a week, or even every day depending on skin tolerance. Furthermore, the mitt is not only for your arms, but also for your legs. Its use should, however, be avoided in delicate areas of the skin such as the face.

If your skin is sensitive, use a soft sponge and exfoliating gel to perform the same function as the mitt.

Hydration:

Do not forget to apply body moisturiser on your arms after showering. Apply with a circular massage upward, starting from the wrist. There are many creams that contain firming agents that can be very useful if your goal is to have strong-looking arms.

To soften the elbows:

Elbows are a part of the arm which can tend to have a hard and opaque appearance. To soften the skin, you can spread a little olive oil mixed with a few drops of lemon on them once a week.

Another natural remedy to soften the skin is to use a handful of salt mixed with moisturiser. Rub on to the elbows in a circular motion. When you finish, wash with warm water and apply natural yogurt with a squeeze of lemon. Try this remedy out 3 times a week, if the elbows are especially harsh.
