Kron I have a wedding to go to in 5 weeks time and really want to wear a dress but I don't like my arms!! As well as doing the kettleworxs 6 week programme can you recommend any kettlebell exercises to target my bingo wings so I don't have to cover them up? Also can I really make that much of a difference in 5 weeks?
Hi Hollie, I believe you can make a difference in 5 weeks, you can lose inches in that space of time
Try some of these to help tone your arms - check out my basic moves links to look at the moves
Whenever you have the bell overhead, imagine there is a hook an inch above your reach and stretch yor arm up to it
bell on floor in front of your toes, squat to pick up with right hand, into clean, into shoulder press, back to clean, back to floor repeat - aim for 20 each side - this will do your butt, legs and obliques as well
Halo - hold ball of bell with both hands and circle around your head, bell in front of face around your head - imagine the bell is the moon circling your head as if its the earth. keep abs tight
Hold bell in both hands, arms straight down in front, keeping arms straight draw a big O by moving the bell around, over your head and down to start position, imagine your standing in front of a wall, as you get back to start, reverse the O - aim for 20 each way
Hold bell by ball in both hands and curl up to your chin, keep elbows tucked into ribs, then push straight up overhead, let bell drop slowly behind your head, keep elbows tucked by your ears, reverse, aim to do 20+. When i do this I do 30 seconds of the above then 30 seconds of just curls, then 30 seconds of the above, then 30 seconds of the behind head curls, trying to get as many reps in of each 30 seconds, try and squeeze the bell whilst doing these
kickbacks, lean sightly forward, back straight, bell in one hand elbow bent, slowly straigten arm behind you, reverse aim for 20 each side
lay down and do press move pushing bell up to the ceiling - again reach for that hook, keep abs tight as you counteract the weight on that side, you can also do a fly move, arm extended straight out at the side and move arm up to overhead and back - you may need to bend the same side leg as the bell and put foot on floor to stop your body twisting
I hope these are helpful, please let me know if I have not explained a move well. Do these at any time, throw a few in while waiting for your bath to run for example.
