Don’t you have enough strength to carry heavy objects with your hands? Do you have a hard time moving your furniture or your refrigerator around your home? You may need better and stronger arms to do all these. Unfortunately, some do not possess strong arms to carry out a lot of activities. Here are 6 easy and effective exercises that you can do to develop stronger arms:

1. Dumbbell Exercises

You can either sit or stand by doing this exercise. The movement only involves your forearms and your hands. You can hold a dumbbell on each of your hands, or if you only have one dumbbell you can still do the exercise alternately. Just pull the dumbbells close to your shoulders with elbows close to the side while inhaling, and bring it down slowly as you exhale. You can do sets and repetitions performing the exercise. This particular exercise develops your biceps.

2. Tricep Curls

This particular exercise is as easy as a dumbbell curl exercise. All you have to do is to raise the dumbbell with both your hands above your head with your arms straight, lower it slowly at the back of head or next to your nape, and then pull it up again making your arms straight. This exercise can also be done in a standing or sitting position. This exercise develops your triceps muscles.

3. Side Lateral Raises

This exercise should be done with both hands to maintain balance with your body. Just hold the dumbbells at your side and raise it up horizontally to the ground at shoulder level while inhaling, and lower it slowly as you exhale. This exercise makes your deltoid muscles stronger.

4. Forward Lateral Raises

This is another exercise which develops your deltoid muscles. The trick in doing the exercise is to hold the dumbbells with an overhand grip in front of your hips, and then raising it up horizontally to the ground with your arms extended in front. As you raise it up, you inhale and then exhale as you lower it.

5. Push-Ups

This simple exercise does not need any equipment at all. What you have to do is just put your hands on the floor at shoulder level. Your body should be straight, with your chest touching the ground and your elbows bent to the sides. Both of your feet are close together with only your toes touching the ground. Start by pulling your body up with your arms extended, and slowly lower your body to the original position while you exhale.

6. Standard Dead-Hang Pull-Ups

You need a horizontal bar to do this exercise. At a height of 6 or 7 feet with a horizontal bar, this exercise can be done with an underhand, overhand or alternate grip. Reach for the bar with both of your hands, and pull your body up until your chin is above the bar. Lower your bodies until your arms are extended, and repeat the steps all over again. Although this exercise benefits your back muscles, it does a great deal of strengthening your arm muscles as well.
