The sleeveless gown showed off Duchess Kate's incredibly toned arms and had fans of the royal wondering how she gets her biceps looking so incredibly sculpted – luckily, much is known about Prince William's wife's workout routine, so we have a good idea how to achieve arms like the mum-of-three.

The Duchess is reportedly a big fan of weight training, so it's no surprise her muscles are impressive. Her passion for tennis will help with her toned arms too.

Tennis helps to tone muscles and build strength, so Duchess Kate's commitment to being on the courts likely contributes to her envy-inducing arms.

The royal's love of CrossFit will also help with her impressive arms; the high-intensity interval training includes push-ups, shoulder presses and overhead squats, all known to shape the arms.

Planks for muscular arms

"Planks strengthen the upper body which will give a more muscular aesthetic," says Gemma.

The Duchess' arms look incredible from every angle, a testament to the fact she doesn't neglect any area in her workouts. "Tricep dips tone the back of the arms whilst building shoulder strength," says Gemma.
