Are you tired of having flabby arms and want to eliminate that superfluous and unesthetic fat! Well, here are six exercises that are just right for you!

They are part of a program recommended mainly for women but that is also indicated for men. Two weights of half a pound each are enough (if you do not dumb bells then you can use two bottles of water of the same weight).

Remember that they can be performed one after the other in sequence and that for each position you have to do at least ten repetitions. The ideal would be to repeat the series of exercises three times.
