Beginner Arm Exercises: How Much Resistance Should I Use?
I am new to arm exercises and trying to banish the batwings! I have some 2lb weights, and I guess they’re good for pumping up the heart rate with aerobic exercise, but what weight range should I use for arm exercises? 5lbs? 10lbs? Advice PLEASE!
I want SOME muscle, but NOT anything like a bodybuilder woman.. Just enough for some definition, sort of like Angela Basset or Madonna. (But I’m fat right now so I won’t look sinewy like them) Just want to get the metabolism burning, but not end up looking like He-Man, getting stretch marks or anything nasty like that.
P.S. Thanks to everyone that’s answered so far! I’m going to go out and buy some dumbbells tonight so you’re getting good karma helping a fat girl get in shape!
