It’s Micro Workout of The Week time again!
This week is all about the one body part that men and women alike all want to improve - their arms! Michelle Obama has gotten a lot of press lately about her sleeveless dresses and toned, sculpted arms and I think it’s fantastic that she is inspiring others to get in shape and feel positive about their health and appearance. So, with a little inspiration from Michelle, I designed a Micro Workout that is totally focused on getting you the perfect set of arms.
And here’s a note for the guys - just FYI this workout is not exclusively for women and will also work great at helping you build bigger arms to fill out your tshirts. You just need to up the weight a little and go heavier but you will still get a great effect from this workout.
This Micro Workout takes less than 2 minutes and can be done at your desk or anywhere else. All you need is a couple of dumbells and you’re good to go!
Let’s watch the workout in action below:
This Micro Workout is less than 2 minutes long and utilizes 3 exercises:
- Bent Over Dumbell Rows: 30s
- Table Pushups: 30s
- Reverse Dumbell Woodchop: 20s each side (40s total)
Total Micro Workout Time: 1 minutes 40 seconds
So in less than 2 minutes we’ve worked on your biceps, triceps, shoulders, core and even a little lower body too. Amazing value for a short workout that can be done anywhere!
So How Often Do I Do These?
Every time you get a couple of minutes to spare during your day, get up from your chair and fit in this quick workout. It takes less than 2 minutes, so time is no excuse - you can definitely fit this in to your schedule.
On the average day, you should be able to fit in at least 5-10 of these workouts. And that all adds up to 10-20 minutes of workout time, which will go a long way to burning off belly fat, getting you in great shape and helping you have amazing arms.

Hey Yudi,
The woodchops look a little awkward but using a reasonable weight is probably adviseable. I’m willing to give it a try!

Hi Michael,
You’re quite right - woodchops can be a little tough to learn so it’s best to use a lighter weight at first until you get comfortable with the movement. It’s definitely an exercise where you have to ‘groove’ the movement over time.
Let me know how you find it after you give it a try!
