Do you remember when Barack Obama bounced into our consciousness and everyone was caught up in this amazing, charismatic man? Not me. Nope. Even I who am known as a political junkie was distracted by something far more interesting.
His wife’s AMAZING arms.
Frankly, Michelle Obama has some of the hottest looking arms I have ever seen. Except for possibly Michelle Bridges which are also pretty spanking fantastic. Now right now I am in the throes of the Michelle Bridges 12WBT programme and exercise is one of its key features.
And I am here to share something with you. Those arms Michelle Obama has? The awesome ones that look great in every outfit? Well girlfriend works her butt off to have them. How do I know this?
Because one of the things I wanted to work on during this programme was my arms. After twenty years of hunching over and hiding my broad shoulders after a bitchy school mate told me my shoulders were “too wide” I got over my fear. Those shoulders made me a champion swimmer. They’ve nestled and soothed lots of children. They’re actually pretty awesome, and I’ve learned that I can’t let the negativity of others hold me back from achieving my goal or working towards being the best version of me I can. So this summer I am going to showcase said shoulders and arms.
I have been working out on my whole body. I don’t think spot training works, but I do think upping the ante on a certain area can help to improve it, if it is done in conjunction with an overall fitness focus.
But in order to do so I have had to work on getting them toned and taut. And trust me when I say it is A LOT of work. Lots of weights, reps and “I don’t want to.” But the results are starting to show and this summer I will rock the frock. The sleeveless frock ;)
What area are you working on for summer?

I have loved Michelle ever since she met the queen. Everyone else gave the traditional bow and Michelle gave her a great big warm hug. Breaking protocol but who the hell cares.

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteGo the strong, firm arms. I know what you mean about the broad shoulders, I've got those. With the weight training I do sometimes I feel I'm turning into the Incredible Hulk. But I'd rather muscle than flab, so that's OK.
So true that it's hard, sweaty work. But it's all about looking after ourselves and being strong in our bodies, definitely where I am at... finally.
I've always hated my arms and broad shoulders. I hardly ever wear sleeveless stuff...Mrs Obama does rock in the arm department. Go you for working hard to get fit lady! I'm cheering you on!
