That jiggly skin just between the armpit and elbow is a source of insecurity for many. Although we see nothing wrong with having a little cushion on our bodies, the truth is if we could strengthen and sculpt that area without spending endless hours in the gym, we’d do it without hesitation (anything to avoid those bulky weight machines!).
According to Jen Jewell, personal trainer and Cellucor athlete, the best time-efficient workout combines brief bursts of cardio in between moves that isolate each muscle group so you’re getting more bang for your buck by minimizing rest between sets.
A circuit format elevates the heart beyond that of a normal strength-training workout, “which means that you?ll be torching more calories (plus increasing your overall strength and endurance) while on your way to sculpting a serious set of defined arms.” The format of this workout is simple, fun, and fast-paced. If you?re traveling and don?t have access to any weights, then a resistance band can also be substituted for every exercise listed below. Jumprope for 30 seconds in-between each one. Jewell also adds, “If you are doing this at home and you don?t have enough room to jump rope, you can always substitute the jump-roping for 30 seconds of any of the following: mountain climbers, lateral hops, burpees, running in place, or plank jacks.”
