Red Carpet Ready Arms | SF Style Archive

Kristi Dowler demonstrates dips at Crissy Field, San Francisco

Great arms are beautiful accessories, especially with evening gowns. For sculpted arms, Kristi Dowler recommends four exercises daily:

Dips – sit on the edge of a chair or bench, fingers curved over the edge, slide off edge, lowering hips toward the ground, knees bent or straight, push back up through heels of hands till elbows straighten

Bicep Curls – with a five pound weight in each hand, face palms forward, hang arms at sides and curl the weights up to shoulders

Push Ups – lie on the floor, place hands shoulder level, toes or knees on the ground, press up by straightening arms, pause at top and then slowly lower toward the ground again, elbows bend to 90 degrees, push back to top

Lateral Raises – weights in each hand, hang arms down at sides, lift them out to the side to shoulder height and lower back to sides
