FAQ
Is a 20-minute arm workout enough?
Yes. 20 focused minutes with minimal rest is a complete session. Consistency matters more than length: doing this regularly beats an occasional long workout.
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.
