Famous “Desperate Housewives” actress Eva Longoria Parker became a nationally recognized model in the 2000s after appearing in several high-profile advertising campaigns and numerous men’s magazines, reaching #14 in the FHM “Sexiest Women 2008″ poll.
Eva Longoria Parker has a great body and even though right now she appears to be on the chubby side on “Desperate Housewives”, that is all due to the extra padding and cushioning she is wearing for the role as Gabby.
In the real world, Eva is as trim as can be. In the latest issue of Ok! Magazine, Eva’s trainer, Aimet Victoria, reveals how she keeps her arms so tone and avoids getting the cottage cheese-like wobbly bit that none of us like. Here is a sample of five exercises she does during training. Be sure to do 15 reps of each using five to ten pound weights.
Bicep Curls and Presses: It strengthens the arms, shoulders and triceps. Starting with hands by your side, curl up both arms like a traditional bicep curl and then press straight up overhead.
Slow Curls: Do a traditional bicep curl but hold at the top for three seconds to get added benefit.
Dumbbell Preacher Curls: Find a comfortable position seated/standing behind a preacher bench holding a dumbbell. Use an underhand grip, one arm at a time. Lean into the preacher stand firmly pressing your chest against the pad with one armpit resting on the top of the pad. Curl the dumbbell slowly upward in an arc until your forearm touches your bicep. Make sure to keep the back of your arm on the pad. Finish the set and then repeat using the other arm.
Triceps Kickbacks: This exercise is an excellent one for developing triceps, but it is vital that you use the correct technique. Have arms down to your side and then straighten arms behind you being sure to keep elbows behind your back. Correct body position is especially important.
Dips: Support yourself on the edge of the seat of a chair and dip down being sure to keep your elbows close to your body.
Keep this routine up for six weeks and you’ll soon see the same sleek arms just like Eva Longoria Parker.
