  • 5 moves × 2 rounds
  • No Equipment
  • Intermediate

This 15-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 5-exercise circuit you repeat 2 times, and finishes with a cool-down stretch.

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 15-minute arm workout enough?

Yes, short sessions work, especially on busy days. 15 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?

No. Every exercise uses just your bodyweight. A chair, wall or couch is the most you'll need, and a mat makes floor work more comfortable.
