Sexy Arms - Daily Ramblings - July 13, 2018

Yesterday I tried out Instagram's new questions feature for Instagram Stories. I was looking for ideas to write about for my Daily Ramblings. I have been using this platform as a way to get over my fear of writing and what people think of my writing. It is my daily practice. Anywho, I should have known my friends well enough I knew that the suggested topics would not be all that serious. Since I didn't specify the quality of topics, I'll have some fun with it. Here is the first one!

There are two ways to get sexy arms. The first is to win the genetic lottery. You know those people who can eat whatever they want, not exercise, and somehow still have well sculpted arms and physiques? Ya, those people. Those people have won the genetic lottery. Those people are also extremely rare.

Which leaves the second option: work your butt off! Set up a plan for your nutrition and exercise, and then execute on that plan daily and consistently over time. I know that doesn't sound sexy, but a vast majority of the population could have arms and physiques they are proud of if they put in a small amount of daily work.

Here is the kicker though...your arms will not be sexy to everyone no matter what you do. When most people ask a question like, "how do I get sexy arms (or a six pack, or bolder shoulders)?", it is because they themselves find those features desirable. I use to idolize Arnold Schwarzenneger's 22 inch arms. The mini Mount Everest the protruded off his upper arms was amazing to me. I wanted arms like Arnold. After a decade and a half I'm still not even close.

But I have realized, I don't need to have arms like someone else, or for someone else. I need to have a body I am proud of. I will never be an Arnold. However, I can be a fit and healthy man who is able to play with my kids or enjoy life without feeling tired all the time. For me, that is a win. For me, that is sexy!
