Mini Arm Toning Workout; Arm Exercises With Resistance Bands

In this arm toning exercise video I teach you a short but effective bicep/tricep workout with resistance bands that can be used as a quick arm workout if you are pressed for time – Or you can add some other types of arm exercises to it – for a longer, more varied arm workout targeting the biceps and triceps.

As always – I remind you =>> *Be sure to get medical clearance for exercise BEFORE you do this home exercise program.*

The Arm Exercises Demonstrated in the Exercise Video Are:

1 – Bicep Curl with Torso Twist – Side to Side, Alternating

2 – Reverse Grip Tricep Extension, Leaning Over with Side to Side Shift

3 – (Set # 2) Bicep Curl with Torso Twist – Side to Side, Alternating

4 – (Set # 2) Reverse Grip Tricep Extension, Leaning Over with Side to Side Shift

Some ways to get the most out of this short routine:

1 – Increase the number of repetitions in each set to use and stimulate the arm muscles.

2 – Increase the number of sets per exercise by going through the circuit more than just once.

3 – Combine it with a few more other exercises for biceps and triceps (chair dips, half-body push-ups, dynamic dumbbell curls, medicine ball curls, etc…)

In the video I go through the exercise sequence twice; After the video I go through it 2 more times; adjusting my band intensity and repetitions as needed. Depending on your level of fitness – You’ll adjust, as needed, as well.

As always – I remind you to get your doctor’s medical clearance for exercise before starting any kind of new exercise program – or if you are unsure about your own physical ability. Better safe than sorry. Pay special attention to this warning if you have any history of arm and shoulder injuries or upper-body joint surgeries.

After you’ve tried this arm toning workout – please post your feedback and comments below – and then please do share this home exercise video and blog post with anyone else you know who can benefit from this kind of helpful home, office and travel fitness information.

Resistance Band Exercises for Chest & Back Toning; Upper Body Band Exercises

This 4-exercise, chest and upper back workout circuit can be done as a stand alone mini-workout or as part of a larger upper body training session. If being used a stand alone workout – You can repeat the 4 exercise sequence more than once – depending on your level of fitness ability – and goals. Or you can combine it with the other free upper body exercises on this website – or in my complete, home and travel exercise programs for purchase (e-manuals, dvds, etc…)

The 4 chest and back exercises include:

1 – Resistance Band Row – from Hi to Low

2 – Resistance Band Flies – from Hi to Low

3 – Resistance Band Lat Push-downs

4 – Resistance Band Chest Press – from Hi to Low

One of the greatest benefits of learning how to exercise with resistance bands is you never have to miss a workout again – As you can bring bands to your office, on vacation or anywhere you have to travel to.

If going through this condensed, chest and back exercise circuit is too easy – try it a second and third time. You can also add 5 or 10 repetitions to each set for a longer exercise session and a more intense challenge.

As always – I remind you to get your doctor’s medical clearance for exercise before starting from scratch – or if you are unsure about your own physical ability. Better safe than sorry.
