Fitness Fan Mail

MAIL RECEIVED:

Chilone,

I am a junior high school athlete. I am a member of the volleyball and track team at my school. My body is very lean and I have loads of natural athletic ability however, I am looking to gain a little definition and strength in my arms. This fall, I will enter high school and I want to be at my best. I love the way your arms look, what can I do to get ripped too?

Love,
Giovanna "Gigi" Woodruff

RESPONSE:

Dear Giovanna,

Thank you Giovanna for the compliment. It is simply fabulous to hear that as a young woman and an athlete that you are taking your sport and your fitness very serious. My, aren't you mature young lady! I would be happy to give you a few pointers for gaining a little definition in your arms. I will start you out with a basic beginning arm workout so that you get familiar with the all the muscles and learning how to work them properly. Please start with light dumbbell weights. For a novice, I would suggest 5lbs and work up to a goal of 8lbs within a month or 2. Please check out www.bodybuilding.com. This is a site that will demonstrate the exercises below and many others that you may not know. I even use this site as a reference. Please keep me posted of your progress and if you have any questions. Your figure is already absolutely stunning, however, I know you are going to be even more defined and stronger by the time you enter high school. Yay!

Love, Peace and Protein Drinks,
Chilone "Steal Appeal" Payton
