Here is my current shoulders and arms routine.
The whole thing takes about 45 minutes. I split these muscles up into 4 main super sets. At the end, all 3 heads of the deltoid, upper and lower triceps, and inner and outer biceps will be completely fatigued. I do this twice a week for a period of 3 months. Then switch up the exercises!
I hope you enjoy! Leave a comment!

To gain some perspective on what it might take for each individual to reach his or her fitness goal you have to look at this question of fitness from the vantage point of a deconditioned person, then gauge it from there. Even here though there are numerous factors: A question of age, weight, sex, current fitness level, motivation, proper form, diet, time and even the dedication that the individual is willing and able to devote to their program. So every persons progression will be at a different rate, even if they're all doing the same routine and giving it their maximum effort. Therefore, each variable muddies the waters a little more to getting a clear cut answer to the question, "How long does it take to get fit?"Optimal fitness has to integrate cardiovascular exercise, strength training, flexibility and, in the case of some people, sports-specific training. However, paradoxically, doing multiple forms of exercise limits the gains accrued from each. In other words, if you are doing cardio and weights, you won't get as much strength than if you focused solely on strength training. And if you're doing exclusive cardio, you'll only see improvements in that area, not in strength and flexibility. However, training one system solely, lends itself to an increased chance for overuse injuries. Studies done with even highly trained athletes have proven that, if you started them on a program limited to lifting weights and then had them run, they wouldn't hack it. Swimmers who were made to run faltered badly, and cyclist, when running, evidenced a much lower degree of cardiovascular conditioning then when on their bikes. For some, fitness is about specificity where you could define fitness as being fit for what you want to do. However, cross training is definitely the best way for the average person to increase his or her overall health.
