While we never wanted our arms to flap in the wind, there used to be a time when women would avoid any type of arm exercises for fear that they’d end up looking like men. Now we know that you can tone your arms without overdeveloping your muscles. It’s quite Hot actually. Check out some women who’ve got their arm game right.
Regina King
Although Regina King plays a cop on the TNT series “Southland” she did not develop her toned guns for the show. She told the women at “The Talk” that her arms come from her dad. Later she told us how she maintains the balance between having toned arms and looking too masculine.
Angela Bassett
Angela Bassett is known for her age defying face, her radiant skin and stunning smile. But it was the arms, showcased in the Tina Turner story that had everyone talking. Whether Angela Bassett first got her arms right and tight for “What’s Love Got to Do With It” or she has always been toned, it’s impressive that she’s maintained her physique all these years.
Tina Turner
This list wouldn’t be complete without the woman who started it all. We must pay homage to Anna Mae Bullock. In fact all of Tina’s limbs are on point. Her legs are nothing to turn your nose up at either.
Janet Jackson
Janet Jackson’s body is always morphing one minute she’ll be a little swole and the very next day she’ll be on the cover of Us Magazine boasting abs you and I would die for. When Janet is slim and trim she’s also very toned showcasing some down right lethal guns. Gone ahead Miss Jackson.
Michelle Obama
Wanda Sykes said that Michelle Obama keeps her arms well oiled and on display just in case any of these women get ideas about their relationship to the president. That may or may not be the reason but it makes good sense. I’m just happy that the first lady didn’t bow to the constant criticism she was receiving about showing her arms. If anything we’re seeing more of them than the cardigans. Love it.
Laila Ali
Now her arms are used for picking up and snuggling her little ones but at one point they were deadly weapons. It only makes sense that The Champ’s daughter would have arms of steel. If the name Laila Ali wasn’t enough to intimidate her opponents, those biceps and triceps didn’t make the inevitable beat down any easier.
Jada Pinkett Smith
It’s almost surprising to see such toned biceps on Jada’s smaller frame. But then again Jada has always stayed toned. Looking at her body you would never know she birthed a teenager and a preteen.
Serena Williams
Serena’s bountiful booty is not her only asset. This Williams sister also has a killer set of arms which no doubt account for all those aces. People always comment on Serena’s body. Whether you hate it or love it, Serena has said she’s learned to accept it for what it is. And that’s all that matters at the end of the day. (Plus you already know Common liked it.)
