Here's what you need to know to get started:

Warm-Up:

1. Before you start your workout, it's important to warm up to get your blood flowing and prepare your muscles for the exercises to come. Start with a 5-minute jog or jumping jacks to get your heart rate up. Then, do some light arm circles and wrist rotations to get your shoulders and arms ready.

Bicep Curls:

2. Bicep curls are a classic arm exercise that will target the front of your upper arm. Start by holding a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing forward.

Lower the weights back down to your sides and repeat for 8-12 reps.

Tricep Extensions:

3. To target the back of your upper arms, do tricep extensions. Start by holding a dumbbell overhead with both hands. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your elbows bent so that the weight is behind your head. Keeping your upper arms still, straighten your arms to lift the weight overhead. Lower the weight back down behind your head and repeat for 8-12 reps.

Hammer Curls:

Lower the weights back down to your sides and repeat for 8-12 reps.

Push-Ups:

7. Push-ups are a full-body exercise that will target your chest, triceps, and shoulders.

Lower your body down towards the ground, keeping your back straight and your abs engaged. Push back up to the starting position and repeat for 8-12 reps.
