I was at the nail salon on Sunday.
It was the big one over off Oak Lawn and Cedar Springs across from the Post Office (I live in Dallas, Texas).
Favorite place near me in Dallas, TX to get my nails done
I love that place.
Sunday’s are packed with the after brunch crowd.
No matter how many people show up, they always have a seat for my friends and I.
While I was sitting back in the massage chair about to start my pedicure, my nail technician asked.
“You workout? You have muscles everywhere.”
I laughed.
I get these questions daily for the most part. It’s a big reason I started this blog.
I needed one place people could go to see how I’m getting the results I am.
The feeling that comes from reaching your fitness goals is one I can’t describe and a feeling I wish to share with everyone.
“For how long?”
That started a discussion about how I workout, the gyms I got to, how often to lift and what kind of program to follow.
She was most curious about my arms.
“How much do I need to lift to get arms like that?”
“What kind of program do I need to follow?”
“How can I get started?”
First, it’s important to know, like most people, I used to be frustrated with my body.
And was clueless about how to make a change.
Not to mention, I had ZERO muscles on my arms growing up.
Even after playing sports like hockey starting at the age of four.
That’s me playing basketball at 17 years old.
No muscles in sight.
Luckily, you don’t have to be a Crossfit hero or Yoga Master to get great arms.
The secret has nothing to do with killing yourself.
Instead, it has to do with FREQUENCY.
Before I tell you the full story, you should know I didn’t get my best arms until just a few years ago.
Although I’d seen my arms being to take shape from a combination of pushups and other workouts I put together on my own…
It wasn’t until I questioned everything I knew about training that I really saw great results.
That’s when I learned exactly how much I could eat every day and how often I needed to train to stay in that kind of shape.
If you’re interested in following what I did, and getting arms like mine, you can See the full program RIGHT HERE.
Now let’s get back to FREQUENCY..
Basically, if you want better arms or shoulders you need to do short arm sessions, and more of them.
How short?
I started by doing three sets of pushups every morning.
Later, I did a couple exercises for shoulders and biceps at the gym three times a week.
Can so little exercise make a difference?
You betcha.
That’s because the more often you work a muscle, the more often your brain gets the signal it needs to get better at doing that exercise.
And I’m not talking about any crazy lifting sessions by the way. I’m talking about doing just enough pushups you still have a few more left in the tank.
Then you rest and do a few more.
If I get enough requests, I’ll make a video demonstrating what I mean. Drop a request in the comments below.
Start doing this every morning and in six weeks you’ll be amazed by your progress.
Or you can workout right alongside me in my next challenge group.
