Arm Exercises For Women – The Myths You Need To Look Out For
May 6th, 2010
Understanding how to properly perform arm exercises for women is absolutely critical if you want to achieve sexy arm stardom. It’s very easy to hide butt, hip or leg fat. But not so easy to hide arm fat. Not to mention all the clothes you can’t wear if you have too much arm flab.
Most women simply forget about all the sexy sleeveless tops they have hiding in the closet if their arms are too big. The good news is that there is no reason you can’t get back the arms you used to have when you were twenty.
I never had sexy arms as a twenty year old. But I tried so hard to get them. I spent a small war chest on every exercise program and new supplement to hit the market. I experimented with everything out there.
Please learn from my mistakes! Here are some common misconceptions about arm exercises for women that you HAVE to look out for:
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-ups are the best exercise for the back of the arm. Do push-ups and you’ll tighten your chest, not your arms. Most of the push-up movement isolates your chest. So please don’t waste your time doing them if you want sexy arms as quickly as possible.
3. Dips are excellent. Correct, dips are excellent for destroying your shoulder! Do them long enough and your AC joint (where clavicle meets acromion) will eventually wear out. This movement puts your shoulder in a very unstable position.
4. Triceps kick-backs are great for toning. Triceps kick-backs are the single most overrated exercise. Your time is much better spent doing other exercises. The problem with kick-backs is that they don’t allow you to add on a lot of weight because of the position your body is in. And you need a lot of weight to get toned arms as quickly as possible.
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.
