It’s a part of your body that is always on show whether you’re in a dress, t-shirt or full sleeved shirt. It only makes sense that you’ll want them toned up and looking great.

Rest assured, lifting weights won’t make you lose your female figure, only enhance it. 

These exercises will give you a pair of killer guns, girly style. You’ll be sporting a pair of sexy arms, with the perfect shoulders to match.
