Tone and Tighten: The Best of Arm Workout Videos on YouTube

Scroll through for workout circuits to try on your next arm day

If getting—and staying—in shape is on your mind this year, we’re giving you easy, achievable ways to do so. Whether it’s back day, ab day, glutes day, or a full-body shred, the key to approaching your fitness goals is consistency, where it’s best to make small but considerable strides so you can keep things up long-term.

Take arm day, for example. It would be a mistake to underestimate the seemingly simple workout moves. (Even here, sometimes the simpler, the better.) With the right set of exercise combinations, you can get the results you want, slowly but surely, such as improved upper-body strength, leaner arms and effective fat burning. 

Take your cues from the fitness instructors ahead, who have helped viewers on YouTube get tighter, toned arms through easy-to-follow circuits. (Men are free to modify by increasing the number of reps or going for heavier weights!) Scroll through and follow along.
