Motivate Me Monday...Toned Arms!

Happy Monday Y'all!!

Let's start the week off with a little motivation...shall we?!

So as you know...I've been doing Crossfit for about three weeks now and it is a killer! It's so intense that I get sick almost every time...gross I know!!


but you know what?!?! I am starting to see a difference.

Like in the photo below. Look at my arms.

They are more defined...granted I've always had muscular arms...but look at the second photo (before Crossfit).

3 weeks of Crossfit

Before Crossfit

Did you know that I've always had pretty muscular arms...I wouldn't wear sleeve-less shirts until high school because I was embarrassed of them! But it's who I am and it's my genetics so I make the best of it!

Do you want to get toned arms for the summer?!!?

Do these three push up styles and I'm sure you will get the arms you want!

The Regular Push Up



The Triangle Push Up

The Pike Push Up



And the best part...you can do these at home!


I hope every one has a wonderful start to the week!

I am SO jealous of your arms. My arms are definitely my worst feature. I was shopping yesterday with my sister and every time she held something up that I might like, she said (knowing how I feel about my arms) "Imagine this with a cardigan!"

Amy said...

Wow- what a difference! I was doing cross fit for a while before I got hurt in March. Am hoping to start again soon, but just not looking forward to getting up at 4:30 to do so! I definitely didn't see the results that you have!

How often have you been going? Do you do anything else in addition to cf?

Carly said...

Isn't it funny how skewed our view is when we are younger? I'd kill for toned arms like that! You look great, girl!

Love this! My arms are (one of) my most hated areas right now. I am a lazy follower of the Tracy Anderson Method but starting up the program full force AGAIN today.. needed a little motivation too :) Might have to had those push-ups to my workouts..

J and A said...

Mrs. Baker said...

Dana said...

I am just getting back into working out after having a baby, so I am supremely jealous of you right now. The pounds are gone, but I have to work on getting my tone back.

But I will say there is no better workout than holding a gigantic baby. (My 4 mo old is the size of a
9-12 mo old!)

Thanks for visiting me!
