  • Beginner

This 10-minute arm workout tones and strengthens your biceps, triceps and shoulders with simple moves you can do in your living room. It opens with a short warm-up, moves into a 4-exercise circuit you repeat 2 times, and ends right after your final round, so every minute counts.

Hit start and the built-in timer calls out every exercise and rest, so you never have to look at a clock. Switch the level below to make it easier or harder.

FAQ

Is a 10-minute arm workout enough?

Yes, short sessions work, especially on busy days. 10 minutes done consistently adds up, and you can stack two routines back to back when you have more time.

How often should I do this arm workout?

Aim for 2 to 3 times a week, with a rest day in between. Increase the level once the current one feels easy.

Can beginners do this workout?

Yes. The beginner version uses easier exercise variations and longer rest. Move at your own pace, and keep good form over speed. Pause the timer whenever you need to.

Do I need any equipment?

A set of resistance bands. Loop bands work for the lower-body moves and handled tube bands for presses and rows; choose a tension that challenges the last few reps.
