Let’s be real. The idea of going to the gym has little to no appeal to many of us. Nonetheless, we still want to look toned and fit. And if that includes you, you’ll be happy to learn that there are two easy ways to get sexy arms without lifting a single weight. Does it sound too good to be true? Lucky for you, it’s not.
Cris Dobrosielski is a motivational speaker, trainer and the author of Going the Distance. And while she’s an expert in helping individuals get fit, stay active, all without injury or discouragement.
But she also has fitness hacks for people who can’t make it to the gym, or simply don’t want to. And that’s where her toned, sexy arm hack comes in.
It all boils down to how you hold your handbag. So, if you tend to carry it over your shoulder, you’ll want to try these two different ways to carry your handbag around.
Farmer’s carry
Hold your purse by the handle, letting it your arm extend down with your bag alongside your leg. This is a great way to work both your biceps and forearm muscles.
Elbow carry
Carry your handbag by hooking your forearm through the straps and letting the straps rest in the crook of your elbow. This is the fashionable way to do bicep curls, and it also works your forearm muscles.
Carrying your handbag in either of these two ways can give you sexy, toned arms without you even trying. And for an even more effective workout, add more weight to your handbag, like a water bottle, to give your arm muscles an even greater workout.
