Once Barack Obama joined the presidential race and attended events with wife at his side, people everywhere started buzzing about Michelle's toned arms and asking how on earth she does it. Even at the Presidential Inauguration, much of the talk was about Michelle's amazing arms. Media outlets from GMA to CNN to MSNBC have covered the story, inspiring women across the country to call their personal trainers and say, "I want Obama arms!"
Certified personal trainer Rylan Duggan, creator of the successful e-book series Go Sleeveless!, constantly gets calls from clients and reporters asking for the training secrets behind Michelle's arms. Duggan is the expert quoted in much of this coverage, and in Totally Toned Arms, he offers his 21-day program to get those sleek and sexy arms.
In this low-priced paperback, Duggan reveals the program (combining strength training and cardio) including a 7-day jumpstart maintenance plan, and essential diet secrets designed to shed fat and reveal toned muscle. This is a simple program that anyone can do, no matter what their fitness level, at home and with little equipment. With this series of 25 easy exercises, anyone can have Obama arms, in a matter of weeks!
Review: My husband and I are planning a tropical vacation this year to celebrate turning 30. I am bound and determined to lose the baby weight and not feel like I have to wear a sweater over a short sleeve shirt. Totally Toned Arms shows you that you don't have to have a pricey gym membership or even a home gym to get toned. All you need is a few dumbbells, a resistance band, an exercise ball and a little motivation.
Rylan places importance on three areas for getting and staying toned. I also learned that it is important to eat the right foods and exercise so that you are continually burning calories; even while you sleep! Strength training, eating right and cardio training are all key to totally toned arms! The nutritional information alone has encouraged me to make some lifestyle changes in my families eating habits. Each strength training exercise is described in detail and pictures are included with a home version and gym version. The cardio portion is "interval" work which will help boost your metabolism. The good thing about the cardio portion is you don't have to do the same cardio activity every day, you can change it up. Some of the cardio activities Rylan recommends are jogging, elliptical trainer, rowing, swimming, shadowboxing or skipping rope.
Each of the 21 days are mapped out for you making it very easy to follow and get your Michelle Obama arms! The final chapter provides information on the importance of keeping up with your exercise and healthy eating habits in order to maintain the body tone for which you have worked so hard. This is a great book with lots of helpful information for anyone looking to work on their arms and better habits for their whole life!
