There is a lot of variance between upper arm exercises. Some are astronomically more effective than others. And if you’re doing lots of the infective ones, you could spend an insane amount of time in the gym and not notice any results!
To make matters worse, every expert out there has a different opinion as to which arm exercises for women are best. You could develop a mental hernia trying to navigate all the opinions.
The good news is that I’ve already done all the homework for you and I’m ready to share my findings!
So here are 4 arm toning exercises that you have to do if you’re serious about getting sexy arms:
1. Extensions over the head. Specifically, triceps extensions for good toning. A triceps extension over the head will do a great job of isolating the area where arm fat lives-the long head. This is probably one of the best exercises for directly working the arm fat area.
2. Narrow grip barbell curls. You shouldn’t neglect your biceps if you want that complete toned arm look. And remember that your biceps muscle is the first part of your arm that someone will see when greeting you from the front. Narrow grip curls do an excellent job at working the outside part of your biceps, the part that is most visible.
3. Inner grip dumbbell curls. Also known as hammer curls, these do an excellent job of working the forearm. So if you feel the need to firm up your forearms, then please include these in your routine. Just be aware that they are NOT effective for toning the upper arm area.
4. Incline bench curls. Rarely will an exercise work a muscle through its entire range of motion, yet this movement just does that. It’s one of the best exercises you can do for your biceps. Again, you’ll have to use lighter weights here. And don’t be discouraged because of the reduced load!
If you incorporate these arm exercises into your routine, you’ll notice some great results. Just make sure that you use a lot of intensity in your workouts. This is where most women fail, they do NOT use enough intensity. You have to push yourself hard in order to get dramatic results.
