10 Minute Abs and Arms Workout with Light Weights: For Women Over 50

August 14, 2019 by Alicia Jones

 

Today you’re going to flatten your tummy and tone the arms at the exact same time!  That’s right, this is an abs and arms workout. 

The arms, as well as the abs are two of the most popular areas to exercise.

So, when you combine these two areas into one efficient 10 minute workout, you’ll maximize the use of your valuable time as you get firmer arms and a flatter tummy.

Today you’ll also need  light weights to get these results.

Usually I don’t recommend really light weights because they don’t create enough demand on your muscle to transform your physique.

(You can learn all about this by clicking:  The 2 Must-Do’s to Maximize Your 10 Minute Workout Results)

but during this workout you’re  changing the way you use these weights.

You’ll extend your arms, creating a longer lever which makes the workout more challenging. 

Another reason you can use light weights is because your  belly muscles are  endurance muscles which need high repetitions in order to tone and flatten the area. 

When it comes to high repetition muscle groups, You only need to lift light weights.  This will give you a fabulous belly burn without injury. 

In other words, you never want to lift heavy weight when you’re toning the tummy.

One more fabulous part of this workout is the ability to tone and tighten your tummy standing up. This protects your back from repetitive injury as it tones  the low tummy, the love handles and the upper belly too.

It’s a win all around!

For this workout  grab a set of light weights (2-5 pounds)

Also, remember the longer you extend your arms, the more challenging the workout will be.

Ok, ready! Let’s Get Started!
