10 Moves Get Toned Arms Like Lupita Nyong'o

By Barbara Baez @BarbaraMBaez · On August 6, 2014

The final days of summer are upon us and we’re celebrating by wearing all the tank tops we possibly can before the dreaded down coat returns. Tank tops are a summer essential because they are easy to throw on and can be paired with shorts/skirts etc.

The only downside to tank tops is that they reveal our arms, a body part we may have been ignoring since we were too focused on having amazing abs and being bootylicious. But after seeing celeb stars like Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston and  the lovely Academy Award winning actress Lupita Nyong’o show off their biceps, it makes want to exercise our right to bare arms.

Inspired by Lupita, here are 10 moves from our Armed and Dangerous workout video created by Dr. Emily. These will help you to achieve toned arms like Lupita’s and bare them confidently the next time you wear your tank top.
