Actually, we&#8217;re not the experts on fitness by any means &#8212; so it&#8217;s a good thing we have fitness expert, Doug Rice (founder of <a href="http://wedding.theknot.com/fitness-boot-camp.aspx" target="_blank">Bridalicious Bootcamp</a>) here to help!</p>
<p>This week&#8217;s question is all about toning up those arms:</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/fitness2.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19798" alt="Fitness Question" src="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/fitness2.png?w=652"   /></a></p>
<p>Arm-toning workouts are one of the most popular when it comes to toning up for the wedding day. For a total arm workout, Doug suggests a Front Shoulder Raise to &#8220;T&#8221; Curl Up Exercise. Follow the instructions below and watch the video for even more moves that work!</p>
<p><strong>What You&#8217;ll Need</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A set of 5- to 8-pound hand weights</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How To Do It</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Hold your hand weights in front of your thighs, palms facing your body.</li>
<li>Raise the weights directly in front of you up to shoulder level, keeping your arms extended.</li>
<li>Keep your arms at shoulder level and move them back so that they&#8217;re lined up with your shoulders and your body forms a &#8220;T.&#8221;</li>
<li>Lower the weights down to your sides and then perform a biceps curl by bending your arms at the elbows and bringing the weights up toward your shoulders.</li>
<li>Return to the starting position.</li>
<li>Repeat for 20 repetitions.</li>
</ul>
