Learning how to tone up arms for the first time can be somewhat difficult. Especially, if your source of information and guidance is dubious. And many women are lost amongst the sea of information. I can tell because of all the emails I receive. But please don't blame yourself. After all, a lot of the confusion is created by savvy marketers. With endless products comes endless misinformation. Thus, here is some misinformation to avoid when learning how to tone up your arms: 1. Working out every day is best. I strongly recommend NOT working out every day. This will leave you burned out, unable to get sleep and absolutely dreading the whole process. Your muscles and nervous system need rest in order to progress. 2. One arm is stronger than the other, therefore something is wrong. This is completely normal. In fact, I've never worked with a client whose arms were equally strong. The good news is that over time this difference will equalize. 3. 15 rep sets provide maximum arm toning. Well, not really. You do not have to do 15 repetitions for every single set you do. Instead, aim for a more varied number of repetitions so that you target all of your muscle fibers. 4. You should never get tired when working out. This is not true. And expect to get extra tired whenever you are breaking a personal best. The only time you should stop is if you start feeling queasy or sick. Otherwise keep on pushing through so that you get maximum benefit from your workouts. 5. Something is wrong since I'm sore 2-3 days after working out. This is perfectly normal and it's called delayed onset of muscle soreness. In fact, this is a positive sign since it indicates that you had a tough workout. And it will decrease as your diet improves and your recovery abilities improve. Be wary of all the misinformation out there. Make sure that the information you are digesting is not coming from a questionable source. After all, unlearning something can be harder than learning something new. And if you want to tone up those arms, take action today!
