Not only is Michelle Obama one of the most fashionable first ladies in US history, she also has the best body! In fact, many people are amazed at how Michelle achieves that well-built body, especially those toned arms! Some have been desperately trying to emulate these Michelle Obama arms, but discovered that it is really no easy stuff. So, for you who want to have that body of a first lady, follow these simple and easy steps.

1. Make your biceps, or the middle arm, firm and toned by regularly doing the bicep curls. Michelle Obama says she usually does this every morning with her President husband before sending the kids to school or attending various meetings. Here is how you do the bicep curls: in a standing position, put your arms at your sides with the palms facing out. Carry two light dumbbells with both hands, curl up your arms across your chest while flexing your elbows.

2. Arms bigger than the shoulders look awful for a woman, so this should be avoided getting the desired Obama’s arms. To do this, you need to hold a 5- to 10-pound dumbbell with your left hand with fist facing down. Step your right foot slightly away from your body to the right. With a strong grip on the dumbbell, raise your hand on the left side of your body, leveling your torso. Do this for 12 times. Transfer the dumbbell to your right hand and do the steps over again.

3. Improve your triceps by following these simple steps: Look for a chair or any other firm object that has at least two-foot elevation. Sit on it and stretches your foot in front of you. Keep your hands resting on the chair, with your palms facing downward and thumbs inward. Slowly lower yourself down until you feel your weight in your arms. Slowly curl back to sitting position and lower yourself again. Do this for 12 rounds.

4. Hit two birds with one stone: tone your biceps and triceps at the same time with a single exercise: Lie on your back while holding a dumbbell with both hands, with your arms resting on either side of the chest. With a full grip on the dumbbell, push your arms straight above you. Then slowly lower them back to your chest. Repeat the process for at least five times.

5. For a complete Michelle Obama looks, you must also try doing the most familiar and most popular form of exercise- the push-ups. It is said to be still the most effective way to get rid of those flabs and tone your muscles in your arms. For better effects, try doing the modified push-ups by getting a hold on steady chair and do the exercise while on a 45-degree angle from the floor.
