Common Falsehoods About Arm Exercises For Women
Unfortunately, most women do not know how to get toned arms and all those sexy tops they have simply remain in the closet. But there is a way, and I am going to show you the way.
I never had toned arms as a young woman. And I wanted them so badly. I tried almost everything out there in an attempt to finally go sleeveless.
And I made a lot of mistakes along the way. Luckily, you don't have to make the same mistakes I made. The following are unknown myths you should be aware of when considering arm exercises for women:
1. Spot reduction is impossible. While it is true that you can't force specific areas of your body to lose fat first, you can change how your arms look with minimal fat loss. Fat loss is only part of the equation and in some cases not necessary. The key is to firm up the muscle with very specific weight training, and to manipulate the amount of water and carbohydrate within it.
2. Push up's. I feel like yelling at the top of my lungs every single time an alleged expert recommends push-ups for toning up the female arm. The majority of the push-up movement targets the chest, not the arm. So why waste time doing them?
3. Dips. If you do dips on a regular basis, a joint in your shoulder can eventually wear out. And the only solution is surgery and 9 months of rehab. Dips put your shoulder in a very compromising and unnatural position. Don't do them regardless of what anyone says.
4. Triceps kick backs are great for toning. While triceps kick backs do give you a good "pump", they are a grossly overrated exercise. Since you have to lean forward and lock your elbow to your side when doing kick backs, it's impossible to increase the weight without having your form deviate. And the only way to get toned arms quickly is by using heavy weights.
Performing arm exercises for women should be an injury free process. And if done correctly, you should be able to get toned arms quickly. Hopefully, with the above tips, you can be on your way to toned arms in no time.
