Denise Austin shared three moves to strengthen arms.They can be done in just a few minutes without hitting the gym.We’re breaking down each exercise so you can do it at home. When it comes to fitness advice, Denise Austin has long been one of our go-to experts.
She’s spent decades showing people how to get stronger through simple, approachable routines anyone can dive into. And now she’s offering a simple three-step workout for anyone looking to tone and strengthen their arms.“Let’s firm, tone, and sculpt our ARMS,” she captioned the Instagram video, “with these three easy exercises!!!” The fitness pro says you can perform these moves sans equipment, or add weights to challenge yourself. “So simple and effective!!” Ahead, we’ve broken down how the fitness guru strengthens the muscle group. 1. Arm circlesFor the first exercise, Austin extends her arms out from her sides so that they are parallel to the ground and rotates them back and forth. It’s just “circles all the way around,’” she says. “Stretch your arms and rotate for one minute.”2. Triceps kickback“The second exercise is for the back of those arms,” Austin says. “So when you wave goodbye, nothing jiggles.”This one is a version of the triceps kickback. In the video, Austin bends her knees and leans forward slightly. She then stretches both arms straight out behind her, keeping them close to her body. After, she bends at the elbows and brings her forearms forward. Although she doesn’t specify how long you should repeat these movements, Austin often keeps the same rhythm going for grouped exercises, so one minute at a time seems like a safe bet.3. Pull-down armsThe final exercise is “pull-down arms.” Austin holds her arms above her head, hands in fists, forming an oval toward the ceiling. Next, she pulls each arm down one at a time, before returning to the starting position.This movement will “really strengthen the entire arm and shoulders,” she notes. The best thing about Austin's routine is that it's something just about anyone can do anywhere. You don’t need to be in a gym or have any special sort of equipment; even Austin herself is demonstrating the exercises in the middle of the kitchen. However, she also points out that if you want an additional challenge, you can always add weights to “take it to the next level.”
