For those of us who have either inherited flabby arms, or I can just say no to another piece of cake ... There are some toning exercises for the great back of the arms (known as the triceps) if performed regularly and combined with good eating habits.
The triceps muscle has three heads or parts of it-the very back, the outside and inside. And believe it or not these parts of the muscle are actually there somewhere. The triceps muscle can be fun to connect to but if you can try to contract without getting the muscles you will be on your way to work properly.
Lying dumbbell press is a great arm exercise for women. Not only get to set, but this exercise really makes you feel the triceps if you have not felt for a while!
First take two light dumbbells and lay down on a bench in good gym with you feet up. Here are the weights on both sides of the ears and the position of the elbows toward the ceiling. The position of the elbows is a vital factor in doing this exercise correctly. They should be pointing up at the ceiling and held in alignment with the shoulders, and very still. Once you have this position, keep it there. Do not drop out or move your elbows down at your feet. The position of the elbows (up on the roof) will act as an anchor or a hinge so that the dumbells held next to their ears can be lifted up towards the ceiling.
Lift the dumbbells by your ears and extends upward to straighten the arms and the triceps contract. Be sure to tighten the triceps muscles when you extend the arms, and for about 8 reps, you should start to feel the triceps muscles.
You should feel this exercise a lot the next day, so do not overdo it to begin with. Also, be careful not to bang your head with dumbells while concentrating on elbows. Do three sets of 10-15 repetitions 3-4 times a week and you begin to feel and see his arms are taking shape within a couple of months. It is recommended that you do this exercise in relation to the exercise of the bicep curl with dumbbells so that you can give your arms a workout total.
