Working your arms is easy to forget about in the gym but it is an important muscle group that can help you build strength and help you get toned arms.
GB News exclusively shares the best moves to build muscle and slim down your arms while improving your fitness.
NASM nutritionist and founder of Bio-Synergy.uk Daniel Herman has shared five exercises to tone arms that can be done at home or in the gym.
He told GB News the best workout and shared the importance of doing a warm-up and cool-down.
Workout plan for toned legs
Daniel said: "Perform each exercise for three sets of 10 to 15 repetitions, gradually increasing the weight as you progress."
Warm-up
"Start with five to 10 minutes of light cardio such as jogging, jumping jacks, or brisk walking to get your blood flowing and muscles warmed up.
1. Tricep dips
"Sit on a chair or bench with your hands placed shoulder-width apart, gripping the edge. Slide your buttocks off the edge and support your body weight with your arms.
"Lower your body by bending your elbows until they're at a 90-degree angle. Push back up to the starting position. You can make it more challenging by extending your legs straight out or adding a weight to your lap."
2. Tricep kickbacks
"Hold a dumbbell in each hand. Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at the waist, keeping your back straight.
"Keep your upper arms close to your body and extend your forearms back until your arms are straight. Hold for a moment, then return to the starting position."
3. Bicep curls
"Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms by your sides and palms facing forward.
"Curl the weights up towards your shoulders, keeping your elbows close to your body. Slowly lower the weights back to the starting position."
4. Overhead tricep extension
"Hold a dumbbell with both hands and raise it overhead, keeping your elbows close to your ears.
"Lower the dumbbell behind your head by bending your elbows. Extend your arms to raise the dumbbell back to the starting position."
5. Push-ups
"Start in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
"Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor, keeping your elbows close to your body. Push back up to the starting position."
Cool-down
"Finish with five to 10 minutes of stretching, focusing on the arms, shoulders, and upper body."
Things to remember
Daniel advised anyone who is really looking to develop their arms to do the workout a couple of times a week.
Fitness fanatics may start by using no weights and increase the weights they use as they get stronger.

It is important to eat the right foods when exercising to fuel the workout and to help build and maintain muscle. Think of eating meals high in lean protein such as meat, fish, dairy, tofu, nuts, beans and pulses.
Aim to eat around one to two grams of protein per kilogram of body weight every day. Britons should also make sure to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and drink enough water.
Daniel added: "Stay hydrated and fuel your body with nutritious foods to support muscle recovery and growth. Consistency and patience are key when it comes to seeing results. Stick to the routine and gradually increase the intensity as your strength improves."
