Let’s keep sculpting our arms this summer, even when traveling,
With this tightening + toning + sculpting arm workout!
Grab some resistance bands and get ready for the best arm sculpting hotel room workout.
Because we want our arms looking good this summer with shorter sleeves, summer dresses and swimsuits; so don’t forget to keep the arm exercises going strong. And while you are traveling, you can keep up with the arm sculpting hotel room workout in as quickly as 20 minutes.
WHAT DO YOU NEED? Because you want to tighten + tone + sculpt your arms while traveling, don’t forget to pack resistance bands for your workout. So, that’s why I always travel with them; as they are so portable and can be taken anywhere! Yet it’s great for home workouts too! In addition, if you are looking for more hotel room workouts, head on over to my “Workouts & More” for other ideas or my lower body hotel workout.
DO: So, for a quick 20 minute workout, do every exercise with 3 sets of 20 reps on each arm. Yet, if it seems like your workout went too quickly? Then complete 2 full sets of the workout!
Best Arm Sculpting Hotel Room Workout
TIP: First of all, these exercises can be done standing or sitting. As, I would normally be standing, but I was sitting since it was easier to take selfies that way for the photos! LOL! And remember, the more slow and controlled you do these moves, the better it is for the strengthening + sculpting effects!
BENT ARM SHOULDER LIFT: (shoulders, upper back)
First, grab the resistance band and place it around your wrists. Now rotate your hands so your palms are facing inward and bend your elbows, while keeping your shoulders down. Then very slowly open your arms using your shoulders and elevating your elbows and then slowly return to starting position.
LAT PULL DOWN: (lats – where you bra sits, shoulders, biceps)
Since you already have your band around your wrist with your palms facing inward, elevate and straighten your arms above your head. Because you want to keep the resistance band tight, when you slowly lower, make sure when you return to the starting position you stop before your hands touch. As this will keep the resistance on the band.
STRAIGHT ARM SHOULDER LIFT: (forearm, upper back, shoulders)
Probably this one is best standing (remember I needed to get my selfie done . . .LOL); so keep the band around your wrists with palms facing inward. Then straighten your arms about 1 foot away from your legs. Then slowly, while keeping your arms straight, extend them outward and then return to starting position.
BICEP CURL: (biceps, shoulder)
First of all, who doesn’t love sculpted & toned biceps? Because it is one of the easiest muscles to develop, so get ready for amazing results. Now grab the band with your left hand, keeping it close to your body. Then grab the top of the band with your right hand, while bending your elbow. Now slowly raise your right hand, using your bicep muscle, bringing your hand close to chest level. Also, don’t forget to switch to the other arm after your full set.
TRICEP LIFT: (triceps – the muscle behind the bicep, upper back, shoulders)
You will now need to place both hands behind your lower back with the band around your wrists and palms facing inward. Then while keeping your arms straight, open them outwards while using your tricep muscles and then slowly return to starting position.
CLAMSHELL: (not an upper move, but I love this move for a great hip stretch)
So, it seems like the older I get, the tighter my hips get, how about you? If so, then this is a great way to stretch, strengthen & tone your hips. While sitting, place the band around your thighs, then shift the weight to your left hip. So, while your knees are touching, engage your core muscles, and then slowly open your right knee using your thighs muscles, but make sure to keep your feet together. Finally, after the full set, rotate to the other hip and do the same movement.
SEATED V CRUNCH: (abs, core)
Since you are in a seated position, roll over so you are sitting on your booty. And keep the band still in the same position and tilt your weight back to your hands. Because you are using your ab muscles, make sure to keep your core tight during the entire move. Then once your feet are elevated off the ground and knees bent, slowly extend your feet outward, using your ab muscles. Finally, do this move 15 times if you can keep your core engaged the entire time.
2o Minutes and Done! In addition, if you are looking to really sculpt your arms this summer, then I would do this exercise at least 2 times a week, preferably 3 times. And then get ready to feel stronger, sculpted and toned!
