The great dilemma! The good news is, based on my experience, I now realize anyone can sculpt a tighter set of arms.

Please don't tell me it runs in your family or you inherited flabby arms from your great-grandmother. I've trained hundreds of women and I assure you, it's all about implementing an effective nutrition and exercise plan.

You'll need to reduce overall body fat levels through your eDiets nutrition program. eDiets members already know that the customized meal plans are convenient and produce results, so this one's a no-brainer. Don't take this point lightly -- sleek arms will not come to you without a nutrition program that provides just the right amount of calories.

That being said, let's get right to the workout and wave bye-bye to those flabby arms.

I've designed a simple program for creating tighter arms that can be performed right in your own home. So if your goal is to show off sleek arms in a sleeveless dress, then you've come to the right place. Many of my customized workouts are based on years of my own personal experience as well as trial and error with my personal training clients.

This is not going to be an anatomy lesson; instead, I'm going to focus on an effective workout. The muscles we'll be focusing on will be the triceps (back of the arm) and the biceps (front of the arm just below the front of the shoulder). The reason I want you to focus on both sides of the arm is to create balance. A symmetrical arm looks sleek from all angles.

You'll be performing a tri-set, which means three exercises in a row without any rest. Select a weight that's challenging, focus on impeccable form and concentrate on the muscle you're working. The triceps are a larger muscle than the biceps, so there are two triceps exercises and one biceps exercise.

THE WAVE BYE-BYE WORKOUT

Bench Dips
Using two benches or chairs, sit on one.

Place palms on the bench with fingers wrapped around the edge.

Beginners should start with feet on the floor and knees at a 90-degree angle. As you progress, move your feet out further until your legs are straight with a slight bend in the knees. Then use another chair/bench as illustrated and place both feet on the other bench.

Slide your upper body off the bench with your elbows nearly but not completely locked.

Lower your upper body slowly toward the floor until your elbows are bent slightly more than 90 degrees.

Contracting your triceps muscles, extend your elbows returning to the starting position stopping just short of the elbows fully extending.

Inhale while lowering your body.

Exhale while returning to the starting position.
