How Well Do You Know Your Arms?
You use them to drive your car, carry your groceries, and do your favorite exercise, the push-up. OK, maybe push-ups don't top your list of how to have a fun workout, but we can agree that the upper body appendages known as arms are important. Take this quiz to see how well you know yours.

Back to Basics: Tricep Dips
Toning your triceps — the muscles that run on the backside of your upper arm from your shoulder to your elbow — is one way to really help prep your arms for tank tops. Tricep Dips are a great, basic exercise for working your triceps. What's more?
Fire Fighter Workout: Part IV
If you tried the fire fighter workouts I've been posting on earlier then you're feeling for those folks in uniform, since the workouts are literally no walk in the park. Here is the arms/abs portion of the circuit workout. Be prepared to sweat as these circuits are loaded with some tough exercises.
Running Tip: Mind Your Arms
I have noticed that a lot of people hold their arms — known as arm carriage — differently when running. While some hold their arms low and to the side, others cross them in front of their body, so it occurred to me that it might be a good idea to share a technique that I have learned (and found) to be the most beneficial to my runs.
Here's the deal: Many runners hold their arms too high, which often results in neck and upper back pain.
Stretches for Your Desk
Nothing feels better than stretching it out when you’re done for the day, especially if you've been sitting at your desk all day long.
Try these four exercises to ease tension in the back, neck, shoulders, arms and wrists.
Back stretch: With your arms crossed over your chest and feet on the floor, lean against the chair back and allow the mid back to curl back over it, lifting elbows up to the ceiling and allowing your head to follow your neck.
Jessica Has Tickets to The Gun Show, Do You?
We've been watching Jessica transform into one hard body these days. Maybe it's from tugging around all that LV luggage, but I am pretty sure it has more to do with her new movie, workout regime, diet and trainer. The girl's definitely got curves; curves that I'd be willing to bet you could bounce a quarter off of.
Take it From Jennifer Garner: Use the Weight Machines
I am a big Jennifer Garner fan. Not only does she seem to be totally down to earth as a mom, she also has been slowly toning up (rather than the usual celeb disappearing act) after having that adorable baby of hers.
Looks like one way Jen gets those lovely arms, other than toting Violet around in her arms all day, is by using the weight machines at the gym.
