I always try to make it a point to answer whatever questions you might have here on Tone and Tighten. Some of the most-commonly asked questions I get about this workout include…
How can I workout my arms without weights?
There are many bodyweight exercises you can do to tone your arms without equipment, some of them just take a little more creativity. Push-ups, dips, planks, and bear crawls are among my favorite; we’ll introduce you to a few others in this workout as well.
How can I build arm muscle at home?
In order to tone and shape your arms you have to exercise the muscles against resistance. This includes pushing, pulling, and weight-bearing through your arms. This is going to focus on activating your biceps, triceps, and shoulders to tone and sculpt lean muscle in these areas.
Typically bodyweight resistance won’t be enough to put on mass, rather they’re great for toning and sculpting your arms.
Are bodyweight exercises effective?
Bodyweight exercises are absolutely effective in burning calories, toning muscle, and burning fat. Again – the key to all of this is activating your muscles against a resistance to increase strength and therefore tone. While you don’t necessarily have all the motions available that you would with weights/bands, you can still get in a great upper body workout with a wide variety of exercises using your bodyweight only.

Let’s move on to the workout!
For this workout, my main focus is toning and sculpting your shoulders, specifically your deltoids. We’re going to be doing 6 upper-body exercises in circuit format: we’ll perform ABC three times through and then move on to DEF 3 times through.
We’re going to hit this one in timed intervals so no need to count reps. If you’re looking for an interval timer you can find an app on your phone or CLICK HERE to see my favorite one from Amazon (affiliate link – I get a small percentage of the purchase at zero additional cost to you).
