Begin this exercise with your arms stretched out by your sides, then bring them together, on arm over the other, then repeat, changing which arm is over the other. You can try this exercise with no weights at first, then add weights as your arms get stronger.

The push-up is a go-to exercise for great-looking arms. It is also a great multi-tasker – not only does it tone your arms and abs, but it strengthens your abs as well. If you want to start out with a more beginner-friendly version, try resting your knees on the ground. Just be sure to lead with your chest, and keep your abs strong throughout the movement.

3.) Triceps Dip

This great toner for the backs of the arms is easy to do almost anywhere. Stretch your legs out in front of you, then lower yourself towards the ground using only your arms. Straighten your arm muscles to return to the start. To make this exercise easier, bring your feet closer to you, with your feet flat on the ground.

4.) Cobra Pose

Yoga poses are great for stretching and strengthening your arm muscles at the same time. The cobra pose in particular is excellent for strengthening your arms, because it uses them to hold up most of your weight. Just be sure to breathe while holding this stretch!

5.) Arm Rotation

This exercise is great for the experienced gym goer. The bent-over row uses a barbell or other weights as resistance, and involves pulling the weights upward from a bent position. It is important to make sure your back is straight through the whole exercise, because curving it could damage your lower back.

7.) Triceps Kickback

This variation of the push-up targets the arms more specifically, instead of the chest. Celebrity trainer, Jeanette Jenkins recommends this move for toning the arms. Between each push-up, rotate the torso outward, balancing in a side plank on on arm. Return to the start to complete another push-up.
