Steering wheel toning 
You can even tone your arms while sitting in traffic. Firstly place your hands on the steering wheel at 3 and 9 o’clock, and then press your palm inwards. This helps strengthen the chest. Hold this squeeze for 10-20 seconds and repeat. You can also target your rear delts by placing your hands inside the steering wheel and pressing outwards. |

If you sit at a desk, take a moment out of your day to tone your arms. Lift your legs and roll your chair towards and away from your desk. Repeat this for 5 minutes. This exercise helps you tone the lats and biceps, muscles that surround the shoulder. If you can’t roll your chair, use your laptop as a makeshift weight. Pick it up and raise it to each side. Perform 20 lifts on each side. This exercise targets the delts and obliques.
