Flex Fire ~ 10-Minute Arm Workout

Quick, effective, and easy to do at home! It’s no coincidence we tapped into the resistance band for this upper body burnout routine. Resistance bands may seem unassuming, but they can build long, lean, and gorgeous muscles just like bulkier gym equipment can. The secret: keeping tension on that band and slowing down that eccentric portion of the move. Resistance band work will not only build strength and power, you'll lengthen those muscles as you strengthen them. Win, win! Head to the Tone It Up App for your complete 7-move Flex Fire workout. Or get a sampling of 3 of the moves here. Do the each exercise for 15 reps each, 3-4 times through! Resistance Band Arm Workout Alt Overhead Press

Begin standing on a resistance band, holding a handle in each hand. Note: You can stand with both feet in the middle of the band for more resistance, or one foot to lighten the resistance. Bend elbows, flip palms outward and lift arms to just below shoulder height. Press right arm overhead, bicep by ear. Then lower back down to just below shoulder height. Then, press left arm overhead, bicep by your ear. Then lower back down to just below shoulder height. Continue alternating, palms facing away from you, and standing tall with core engaged the entire time.

With palms facing up, bend elbows and lift forearms in front of you to waist height.
