The arms are certainly among the most visible areas of the body, especially during the less cold months. But toning the arms is important not only to eliminate flaccidity or the skin effect that “falls” and trembles every time we move, but also to increase physical strength and protect the joints.

Flaccidity forms when you lose weight abruptly, and affects the skin of the arms, legs and abdomen. Added to this is the reduction in collagen production, which is normal once you reach a certain age.

Exercises to tone the arms can help alleviate some of the problem, and there are some that allow us to train areas of the body as well, such as the abdomen.

Diamond push-ups

It is one of the best-known variants of the classic exercise and helps to strengthen, in addition to the arms, also the pectorals, triceps and abdominal muscles.

Place a mat on the floor and form a kind of diamond with your hands by bringing your index fingers and thumbs together under the center of your chest. Stretch your legs and stay on your toes.
