Does the flab on your arms keep waving after you’re done saying goodbye? Ever wonder what to do to get rid of arm fat? Total Gym arm workouts can help!

Although it’s impossible to reduce fat only in a targeted area, there are isolation exercises that can increase strength and tone of those muscles. For the shoulders and arms, dips work the triceps on the back of the upper arm, the anterior deltoid on the front of the shoulder and the pectoralis muscles on the chest. The rhomboids and lats, and some traps in the back are also activated during this Total Gym upper body workout.

When we look better we feel better about ourselves, we feel and act more confident, we have more energy for our professional and personal lives, and we are more attractive to whomever we are trying to attract. All great benefits, but now let’s get into the exercises.

  • Single Leg Plyometric Jumps
  • Chest Presses – Upper, Mid, and Lower Chest Muscles
  • Pull-ups. With option to do Plyometric Pull-ups
  • Surfer Lat Pull with Upper Back Emphasis
  • Surfer Lat Pull with Biceps Emphasis
  • Kneeling Triceps Extension with Lower Back and Balance component
  • Ab Crunch with plenty of options

For the best results, I want you to choose a level on your Total Gym that makes you hit fatigue around 8-10 repetitions with good form. Good form is paramount! It is better to use a lower level on the Total Gym tower if it means maintaining good form. You’ll get better results and also reduce the incidence of injury.
