5 Exercises for Toned Arms
I'm sure you've heard the expression "Teacher's Arm". I apologize to all teachers out there, but you know what it means: the under arm jiggle that increases with age, most noticeably when writing on a chalk board (do they even use those anymore?).  Unfortunately this condition doesn't discriminate.  Even stick thin arms can fall victim to it. The only way to banish teacher's arm forever is to tone that ish up.  Thankfully that's what we have Trainer George for!

Great tips Ali, thanks! Funny I do a couple of these already at home, especially the elbow extensions, I find they really work well for me.
