Say 'hello' to sculpted arms this summer - just give these six easy moves a try
BANISH BINGO WINGS

Let's face it, toned arms and shoulders make us feel better about wearing short-sleeved tops and strappy dresses when the sun is shining - and it's not that difficult to get them, says fitness coach Suzy Alvarez. You can achieve sculpted arms with resistancetraining exercises, alongside a high-protein diet.' The best part? It's possible to whip yourself into shape at home. If you're keen to shrug off that cardigan, start these exercises today and see a difference in six weeks.

YOUR WORKOUT

Aim to do these exercises three times a week. No weights? Use a bottle filled with water instead.

1 HAND PLANK TO ELBOW PLANK

Begin in plank position, your feet hip-width apart and hands beneath your shoulders, your body forming a diagonal line from your feet to your head. Lower your right elbow to the floor, then your left, coming into a forearm plank. Place your right hand on the floor straightening the right elbow. Follow with your left arm to complete one rep. Aim for three sets of six to eight reps.

2 TRICEP DIP

Pace yourself. You can bring your feet closer to the body to take pressure off the shoulders.

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'

Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said. 'There must be a mistake.'It was August 2010 and I'd not long before had an emergency caesarean. I'd not had a chance to see Winnie when she arrived as she'd been whisked away for tests because she was nearly two months premature.
