Celeb Move to Steal: Get Kimberly Perry's Seriously Toned Triceps

Country crooner Kimberly Perry has got an exciting weekend ahead: She'll get to strut her way down the red carpet at the 48th annual Academy of Country Music Awards knowing she and bros Reid and Neil of The Band Perry have earned a pretty-big-deal nomination for Vocal Group of the Year. If we were her, though, we might slow-mo that strut down to a sexy sashay in order to show off how hard she's worked to earn her amazing arms. (Wait, it's not all that guitar strumming?)

You'll never guess her secret weapon -- check out the cute guy behind her on drums, Boone Daughdrill. That's the dude cracking the workout whip on the Perry clan, whether they're in a gym or a green room at a hockey arena. "Kimberly's pretty strong, and she has tons of willpower," he says. "By the end of the workout, she's sweating and calling me choice names!"

To work those triceps, Daughdrill loves prescribing Bench Dips. Exercising that muscle "allows you to have more of a cut arm and takes away from that 'bye-bye wave,'" he says. (Um, you know, when the flab waves back.) No worries; Kimberly's sure to get a big HELLO from the crowd while workin' that stage on Sunday!

Bench Dip / Tricep Dip

Tricep Dip/Bench Dip

Sit on a bench (gym, park or otherwise) or sturdy chair. Place the palms of your hands by your sides and grip the edge of the bench. Slide off the bench and support your weight with your hands. Straighten legs and brace heels against the ground. Lower your body towards the floor a few inches, keeping your elbows back and tucked in. Be sure to never lower your shoulders below the height of your elbow. Push your body back up until your arms are straight. Do 3 sets of 10-15 reps. If you are a beginner, complete the exercise with feet flat on the floor, both legs slightly bent.
