First move to slim arms: Rear water cup raise

The water cup can be one you use daily, or a mineral water bottle. Of course, it should be filled with water and not too small!

1. Sit on a chair with your legs together, left hand holding a water bottle and raising it upwards, right hand bending the elbow to support the left elbow.

2. Inhale, exhale while lowering the water bottle behind by bending the left elbow, then raise it again. Repeat this 15-20 times for each hand.

Second move to slim arms: Leg lift while sitting on a chair

1. Feet apart at one and a half shoulder width, sit on the chair, hands clasped in front of the chest, back straight, close your eyes, relax your body, maintain natural breathing.

2. When inhaling, puff out your chest, when exhaling, let your chest sink down, feel the balance of your body's breathing.

3. Slowly stretch your hands upward, straighten them high above your head, clasp your palms above your head with fingertips pointing up, puff out your chest, feel the stretch in your waist, back, and arms, maintain natural breathing, hold the action for about 10~20 breaths.

4. While doing this movement, you can also relax by moving your foot soles, both feet flat on the mat.

Third move to slim arms: Drawing circles inward and outward

1. Turn the chair slightly away from the desk, leaving an arm's length of space in front, extend both hands forward;

2. Draw circles with both hands, draw outward 20 times.

3. Then draw inward 20 times.

4. The circles don't have to be too large, use the strength of your arms, not your palms.

Fourth move to slim arms: Hands clasped in front of chest

This simple and effortless move mainly targets the flabby flesh on the forearms.

1. Place both hands hooked up and down in front of the chest, try to open up the chest as much as possible;

2. Pull both hands in opposite directions, hold for 20 seconds, repeat 3 times.

3. Then switch the upper and lower positions of the left and right hands, perform the same movement as one set, repeat 5 sets.

Fifth move to slim arms: Level arm internal retraction

1. Sit on the chair without leaning against the backrest, keep the upper body upright, both feet flat on the ground;

2. Clench both hands into fists, raise both arms upwards and straighten them, aligning with the shoulders;

3. Inhale, bend both elbows into a right angle; exhale, bring both elbows towards the shoulders and retract them inward;

4. Perform this movement as one set of 12 repetitions, complete 2 sets, no need for speed, proceed slowly.

This set of movements can flex the biceps, extend the triceps, stabilize the shoulder joint, and shape the arm lines. Source: http://www.she-live.com/html/2011/shoubifangfa_1220/14558.html
