Ladies, listen up. If the First Lady’s anything-but-lanky biceps and triceps leave you with some serious arm envy, you don’t need her personal trainer budget to get the same sexy look--just a little creative reuse skills.

Simply turn to your laundry station and your backyard to find all the flab-fighting fixings for an easy at-home work out: an empty laundry detergent bottle (an eco-friendly option like Seventh Generation is preferable!), sand from little Susie’s sandbox or water from the hose.

Fill the empty bottle with said sand or H20 and tah dah! DIY dumbbells perfect for at-home bicep and tricep curls.

Get ready to break out your tank tops and muscle tees and head to the beach with abandon.
