When getting on Instagram and viewing fitness posts, you can’t ever go on there without seeing a 30 day fitness challenge. Whether it’s to get your stomach or abs in shape, to shape up your glutes with a squat challenge. There are all kinds of 30 day challenges however for the past few months I’ve been trying to do some research on strength training in order to help with getting rid of arm fat; or at least tighten up the arms so that you can wear sleeveless shirts for the Summer time....
After a certain amount of time I got less and less motivated to look and more and more motivated to create my own 30 Day Arm Challenge. I've recruited a couple of ladies interested in the challenge and I’m excited to be starting another movement of my own. It’s not for the benefit of losing weight but to at least motivate and encourage women of all shapes and sizes that they can do anything they put their mind to. So here goes nothing!!!

For this challenge we will only have 5 rest days… Yup only 5! So don’t think that doing this challenge you will become lazy, yes some days it will hurt more than others. The first day I’d like for everyone to get the hang of the exercises and then gradually move on to more advanced moves in order to tighten arms and reduce the fat in the arms. There will be different results for everyone so if one person loses more than someone else, never be discouraged just keep the motivation. Each day will have listed the size of the weights you need to use and how many reps of each exercise will need to be completed. Please please please warm up & stretch before attempting any of these exercises (Please note that Danielle “FatshionVixen” has no liability over clients being hurt! So don’t attempt anything if you absolutely can’t do what’s required!) Start off with these stretches before working out with your dumbbells...
Do not cheat yourself either, be realistic… If you are doing half a** work you will get half a** results, just being real! If you absolutely cannot lift a certain weight on a specific day you must go down 5 pounds and add 2 more sets and 5 more reps to the workout for each exercise. For example: If you must do 5 Triceps Chops and 10 sets containing reps of 10 with 15 pound free weights and you cannot do it, then you can go down to 10 pound free weights but you have to do 12 sets of 15 reps! No changes, no questions asked. Days on the calendar where you see (Advanced Double) if you feel that the workout for the day is too easy, I'd like for you to double the workout (repeat the whole workout). Challenging yes, but I want you to be just as motivated as I am, even if you have to make someone take track of your progress feel free to do that if it makes you feel more confident but never give up! We are all in this together. As stated on my instagram calendar image (which if you click here you can see a bigger and more complete image of) there are abbreviations for each exercise. Below there are images of each exercise that we will execute, if the pictures don’t do justice YouTube has a great array of example videos of each movement!
We will start this challenge on May 1st 2014. Feel free to come to the blog daily to see the calendar or if you forget a certain move or position feel free to look on my instagram page @fatshion_vixen for detailed instructions on what to do. Remember share this information with all of your friends, let’s get these arms in shape for the Summer! J
