No More Arm Jiggle

Over the summer, my goal was to get back to my body from freshman year. This required losing 10 pounds and gaining back a lot of muscle. Through my journey to getting back my previous self, I didn’t realize how much I would fall in love with working out.

I found fun exercise programs, started to enjoy running and began appreciating healthy food. It has been an amazing transformation, even though it is just 10 pounds. Those few pounds stand for an entire lifestyle change, where I am feeling stronger physically and mentally.

I think women set out to complete these unattainable goals for their weight, but in reality one belt loop makes a huge difference. Eating healthy and staying active everyday is all the change you need to be happy and comfortable in your own skin. You can even make simple changes like drinking more water. 

Also, I feel like women are nervous to do anything but cardio. I promise you will not look like a body builder if you lift a weight. Part of the fun is trying new things and getting outside of your comfort zone, so throw around some kettlebells. 

To get you started, here is one of my favorite arm workouts from Tracy Anderson, trainer to the stars. I love to do this about once a week when I can’t find the time to get in a full workout. It is a bit girly, and you may look crazy doing it. However, it’s effective and is only about ten minutes long.
