Are you looking to strengthen and tone your upper body? Look no further! At Bodylove Academy, we have put together a chest and arm workout plan that will help you achieve your fitness goals. Our workout is designed to target your chest, biceps, triceps, and shoulders, giving you a complete upper-body workout.
Warm-up
Before starting any workout, it’s important to warm up. A warm-up helps increase your heart rate and gets your muscles ready for the workout ahead. Spend five to ten minutes doing some light cardio, such as jumping jacks or jogging in place.
Chest Exercises
The chest muscles are some of the largest muscles in your upper body. Targeting these muscles with the right exercises can help you build a strong and defined chest. Here are some exercises you can do:
- Push-ups: Push-ups are a classic exercise that targets your chest, triceps, and shoulders. Start in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower yourself down until your chest is almost touching the ground, then push back up. Aim for 10-15 reps.
- Dumbbell chest press: Lie on a bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Hold the dumbbells above your chest with your arms straight. Lower the dumbbells down until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle, then push them back up. Aim for 10-15 reps.
Arm Exercises
Strong arms not only look great but also help you perform everyday tasks with ease. Here are some exercises you can do to target your biceps and triceps:
Bicep curls: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Keep your elbows close to your body and curl the weights up towards your shoulders. Lower them back down and repeat. Aim for 10-15 reps.
- Tricep dips: Sit on the edge of a bench or chair with your hands next to your hips. Slide your butt off the edge and lower yourself down until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle. Push back up and repeat. Aim for 10-15 reps.
Shoulder Exercises
Strong shoulders not only look great but also help with posture and upper body mobility. Here are some exercises you can do to target your shoulders:
- Dumbbell shoulder press: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Raise the dumbbells up to shoulder height, then push them up overhead. Lower them back down and repeat. Aim for 10-15 reps.
- Lateral raises: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Raise your arms out to the side until they are shoulder height, then lower them back down. Aim for 10-15 reps.
Cool-down
After you’ve finished your workout, it’s important to cool down. Spend five to ten minutes doing some light stretching, focusing on the muscles you just worked. This will help prevent soreness and injury.
