Say hello to sculpted arms like Meghan’s with these six easy moves
Whatever you think about the Duchess of Sussex, you have to admit her arms and shoulders look ultra-toned. Want to know her secret? It’s not as difficult as you might think, says fitness coach Suzy Alvarez. ‘You can achieve sculpted shoulders with resistance training exercises, alongside a high-protein diet.’ The best part? You can easily whip yourself into shape at home. If you’re keen to shrug off that cardigan, begin our workout today and you could see a difference in just two weeks.
1 Hand plank to elbow plank
Begin in plank position, your feet hip-width apart and hands beneath your shoulders, your body forming a diagonal line from your feet to your head. Lower your right elbow to the floor, then your left, coming into a forearm plank. Place your right hand on the floor straightening the right elbow. Follow with your left arm to complete one rep. Aim for three sets of six to eight reps.
2 Tricep extension
Standing feet hip-width apart, hold a dumb-bell in one hand. Extend your arm up to the ceiling, then bend your elbow and slowly lower the dumbbell behind your head, keeping arm close to ear. Repeat on the other side. Aim for three sets of eight to 10 reps.
3 Tricep dip
Sit on a chair or sofa and place your hands either side of you. Slide your bottom off the chair, bending your knees at right angles. Bend your elbows at 90 degrees and lower your hips towards the floor.
