This is the ultimatearm toning exercise. By holding your arms up, you work the front, middle and posterior portion of your shoulders. Make sure to push your fingertips toward the sky to activate your biceps, while pushing the palms away from your body to activate the lower portion of your triceps.
Stand tall and tighten your tummy. Extend both arms out to the side at shoulder level (like a “T”), palms facing out, fingertips reaching to the sky. Squeeze your shoulder blades back and together. Keep the tension by continually pushing your hands away from you as though you’re trying to push away the walls on either side or you. Hold for 30 seconds to one minute.[/su_box]

The plank is the most popular isometric exercise because of its ability to flatten the core. It activates your transverse abdominis (inner abs) which tightens your tummy and strengthens your back.
Lie on your stomach. Place your forearms on the ground, elbows under shoulders and legs extended behind you. Curl your toes under, lift your knees off the ground and hold. Create a straight line from the top of your head to your heels. The best way to engage your abs in this position is to pretend you have to cough. This will tighten your tummy muscles down to the deepest part of your core. Hold for 30 seconds to one minute.[/su_box]

By bending your arms during this exercise you focus on your triceps, the area that tightens arm jiggle. As an added bonus you contract your upper back muscles which simultaneously opens the chest to give you perfect posture.
Sit on the floor with bent knees and feet flat on the floor. Place your hands under your shoulders, thumbs face in. Squeeze your shoulder blades together. Lift your tush off of the ground and bend your elbows. Open your chest. Hold for 30 seconds to one minute.[/su_box]
