Tone Up Exercise: Sexier Arms in 3 Weeks

1. Sit on an exercise ball with a 3- to 5-poud dumbbell in your right hand and a 5- to 8-poud dumbbell in your left hand. Straighten your arms and raise both at your sides to shoulder height. Bend left elbow so the dumbbell is parallel to the ceiling (as shown at right). Press your left arm up, straightening elbow. Then lower left arm to the starting position. Do 10 reps.

2. Switch weights to the opposite hands and do another 10 reps, leading with your right arm, to complete 1 set. Then do 2 more sets on each side, the first with 8 reps and the last with 6 reps.

3. Do the entire move 3 times a week, and you should see noticeable results in 3-4 weeks – just in time for sleeveless weather.

Are You Making Yourself Look Older?
Find below the 5 simple mistakes women do that actually make them look older.

Heavy foundation cakes between fine lines, making wrinkles stand out. Instead, lightly pat foundation onto trouble spots with a blush brush.

Clumpy mascara on upper and lower lashes creates a dated look. Curl lashes then, starting at the base of the lash, rock the mascara wand horizontally back and forth, and roll it out to the tip of each lash.

Side-swiped blush high on the cheekbones is so five years ago. Today for a younger look, brush just on the apples of your cheeks.

Light-washed jeans age you. The darker the wash, the more flattering. Go for mid-rise waist and boot-cut legs.

Anything boxy or tight works against your shape. Forget the size number and choose what fits your curves.
