Pilates Before And After

Arm jiggle?

I have no problem with any parts of my body except for my arms. They have a little bit of a “jiggle” on the triceps. I already excercise, I run about 30 minutes a day and do some pilates. Can anyone suggest me a workout to do before or after I run to banish the jiggle? I have access to 5 pound dumbells and a big exercise ball.

The jiggle comes because your arms are not developed because generally, no one developes them today because it seems obsolete. But yeah its not always what we want to see on ourselves. So what you need to do is a bunch of arm exercises to tone and strengthen up your arms!
