Ever wish you could spot-tone certain parts of your body when you work out, whether your waist, thighs, or arms? Alas, it’s not possible to reduce fat only in certain areas, but you can target certain zones for special attention as part of an overall workout routine that includes cardiovascular exercise plus strength training. Add these exercises to your workout routine to strenghten and firm your shoulders, chest, triceps, biceps, and forearms.
