A List of Arm Stretches For You To Complete Before Any Arm Workout

Before we even start arm stretches, jump rope, run in place, or do jumping jacks for 2 minutes. This way you can wake the body up and get it ready to stretch.

We will start with some static stretches holding each stretch for 10-15 seconds twice on each side.

Forearm Stretch

Place your right arm straight out in front of you palm up. Push your palm down with your left hand. Switch Arms.

Tricep Shoulder Stretch

Reach your right arm across your body. Lift your left arm up so your forearm crosses over your right elbow and pull in. Switch Arms.

Overhead Tricep Stretch

Lift you right arm above your head and let your hand fall behind your head. Grad your elbow with your left hand and pull. Switch Arms.

Next we are going to do a couple ballistic stretches to get our muscles warmed up even more. Again do these for 10 seconds.

Huggers

Keep your arms loose and swing them away from your body then across your body like you are hugging yourself.

Shakers

With hands down by your sides, shake your arms flicking the wrists out.

Arm Circles

Hold your arms out to your sides. Do 15 small circles forward, then 15 small circles backwards. Make your circles bigger and do 15 more forward and 15 more backwards.

Alright, now that we are done stretching let's get working on those arm exercises.
