10 Minute Arm Toning Workout // From Flabby to Firm with Light Dumbbells

These arm strengthening and toning exercises are appropriate for all levels and ages! I'm using three pound hand weights, but you could go heavier as you grow stronger. However, always start with light weights or water bottles. Take a break if you need to and shake out your arms. Hop back in when you are ready. Keep your shoulders relaxed and focus on good form!
I may have gotten a little carried away because this video turned out to be longer than 10 minutes! More like 15 minute arm toning! Oops! More toning for you. You can do it and your arms are going to look great!

You are such a gift for us older folks. I can't tell you how much I appreciate ALL of your videos!!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you Ashley, I appreciate that :)

[@carolengroff6766]

Another winner! This one was deceptive. I thought it would be “easy” with 3-pound weights, but, boy, was I wrong! I love strength training workouts! Thanks! ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I agree! It is deceptive AND effective 🤩

[@lynnlangevin6259]

Another AMAZING workout for the over 50 crowd..... Very effective and feels great after the stretch. Thanks

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Awesome Lynn, thanks so much!

[@ljoefgh4318]

I am so happy I found your channel. I'm 60, I have been exercising faithfully 6 days a week since my 30's. Your workouts encompass what I need to be doing right now. They are challenging and just what I want. I have never been very coordinated, and even less so now. Your videos are super easy to follow, no complicated choreography. I work up a sweat every time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, time and energy. Appreciate you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you so much Linda! I appreciate great viewers like you! I’m thrilled my channel is a good fit for you 💜

[@Bematwell]

I’m 70 coming off of a 5 yr extremely sedentary lifestyle. Tried a bunch of various videos but they never stuck UNTIL I discovered yours! Now 3 weeks in, 7 days a week. Thanks Lauren, you are the BEST!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you so much! That is so nice to hear :) keep up the good work :)

[@annakohn5937]

So appreciate how much you put into these workouts and how good you are at keeping things interesting. Many thanks! A big addition to my everyday!

You're so welcome! Thanks for the positive feedback Anna :)

[@stacischeetz7597]

Great video! Thank you! I sat on my stability ball to protect my ankle and it was still challenging! Your explanations make your videos so easy to follow. It's just so appreciated.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Awesome Staci! I love that you used the stability ball!!!

[@sharicorum4196]

WOW! That was quite a ten minute workout! 😍 I don’t know how you keep it all straight especially while talking us through it! I really had to focus! Great brain workout as well as arms!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Shari! I may or may not have cheat sheets ;)

[@margaretchilcote6167]

I am so glad for such a variety of workouts you have. Can't believe how difficult it is to get back into doing even the basics after being away for awhile. Will have to work back into it. Thank you that they are geared to the seniors, Not difficult to do just terribly out of shape.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Keep up the good work Margaret, you will get stronger in no time!!

[@dianehall5345]

Good morning Lauren- Great video! Toning the arms is the next area I wanted to address. Not going back to a gym anytime soon. I appreciate exercises that can be done in my living room. ~ Diane

Awesome arm workout! Perfect for those busy days when you want to squeeze in something during your break! I am 43 but 2 years of Covid and working from home sitting at my laptop all day, along with some neck/shoulder injuries have left me seriously out of shape and I am SO happy I discovered your videos, I combine a workout from your channel everyday with walking and/or swimming and I am getting into the best shape of my life! Thank you, love from Greece! xxx

[@liztownsend2026]

Wow, this was tough but perfect as a seated work out! I did it all with 1.5 kg weights, hard but doable, only possible after a number of months doing strength work with you- thank you! Xx

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Keep up the good work Liz! I love that you did this seated 🤩🙌🏻

[@jeepersandrandy]

This was my first time doing this arms workout and whoa what a killer non-stop workout even with only using 3-lb weights. With your bicep curl combo set, I noticed that the last 3 reps you didn't do the doorknob turns, so I got a little behind because I put them in. I did your Cardio Kickboxing WO previous to this one and now I feel well worked out. I will be doing this one again. Thanks Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Oh! I don't think I've caught that before! Nice job powering through!

Perfect workout after ANY travel too! I usually add it to a ten minute speed bike work-out but it’s perfect after Hauling luggage, sleeping on planes & train, all of which makes neck and shoulders scream. And you can do it anywhere! For ten minutes, you get complete shoulder relief & neck relaxation. Thank you for this!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Diane! I love that you sound so active, I'm impressed :)

This was a great arm workout. Initially I scoffed at 3lbs weights, so I started with 5lbs. haha I quickly had to lower weights and eventually had to go with no weights. Haha. I hope I can lift my arms tomorrow!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're not the first person to grab heavier weights Annette! I try to warn people ;) Glad you got a good workout, maybe add some extra stretching if you are sore.

[@Swimnomore]

I have just begun your videos. I love them. I could barely keep up with this exercise. My tendency is to want to repeat these particular exercises for several days. My question is this. Should I do another type of exercise in between this exercise? Then come back the day after and do these again. Thanks in advance.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you Dana! If you are sore then do another type of workout between sessions. If your muscles are not sore and you feel like you can do more then it’s okay to repeat it. Hope that helps 💜

[@Swimnomore]

Thank you. It’s good to have a barometer for evaluating next moves. You are appreciated.

[@anarosabelinha]

Great workout, Lauren. I´ve been doing the " 20 minutes seated dumbbell easy arms" for a month or more. I do that twice a week. Can I include this new one ? Once a week each ? Thanks for your other videos, too! Hi from Brasil

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Sure! Once a week is great for both of those routines. Glad you are enjoying them :)

[@miriamschiro8585]

I have crepier arms that looks like cellulite would these exercise help to get rid of that? If not can you please implement exercises that do in fact take them away?

[@lucymileo2862]

Lauren, could this be done 2 days in a row? Since its weights, maybe not?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yes Lucy! As long as you are not sore. If your muscles are sore, then you will a day off to recover, but because they are light weights, this workout is great for endurance and can be done daily.

I've just started your workouts and this is probably a stupid question but when you say 3lb weights, is that each hand or 1.5lb per hand making 3?

Yes Diane because they use light weights. Take a day off though if you are sore to allow your muscles to recover.

[@miriamschiro8585]

I like to know how you know this works for seniors?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Miriam, I'm going to address all your questions in this thread. Everyone's results will be different do to body type, effort and the size of the dumbbells used. I have had numerous comments on my channel about viewers having great results with my videos. Any exercises can help you lose weight which will reduce the look of cellulite, but please be advised there is no magic pill nor exercise that can remove your loose skin or cellulite. A good diet as consistent exercise can result in physical improvements.

[@user-sm6qu2yh4w]

If you can send me tons of exercise videos whoever I don't care. Thank you

[@sonyawhittley7703]

How many times a week

[@deborahfrazier1738]

YOU MIGHT WANT TO SLOW THIS ONE DOWN...

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I always say to go at your own pace. The viewer is able to reduce the playback speed if you want to slow it down on your end. Unfortunately, once a video is posted I am not able to edit it.
