I’m going to start off with a confession here: I barely ever train my arms. As a Health Writer, I’ve tried pretty much every fitness trend you can think of, in a bid to create a strong, healthy body and mind and improve my longevity – plus, it’s literally my job to try things out.
But it’s safe to say, my arms take a bit of a back seat to all the running, spin, lower body and ab work that make up the majority of my workout week – and that’s despite bemoaning my inability to perform more than one push up at a time. Sure, I do strength training, but more than likely I’ll just tack a few bicep curls onto my core/leg/(insert other body part here) work. So, when I was asked to try a dedicated arm workout every day for a week, my interest was piqued. Would a week of home arm workouts be enough to notice results? More importantly (for me, at least), would I enjoy it?
