All Too Common Falsehoods About Arm Exercises For Women

Knowing how to do arm exercises for women the right way is important because it’s not easy to hide extra arm jiggle. If you have floppy arm flab, your clothing selection will be severely limited.
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. The claim that spot reduction is a myth. This one gets half credit. You see, even though you can’t prioritize where your body loses fat first, you can drastically change the appearance of your arms without substantial fat loss. The key is to manipulate the amount of water and carbohydrates in your arms, and to tighten up the underlying muscular tissue.
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. Triceps dips are a must. Do enough triceps dips and the AC joint in your shoulder can wear out. Once your AC joint wears out, surgery is the only way to fix it. Stay away from dips at all costs. There are other equally effective exercises for your arms.
4. Kick-backs. These are ok if you want to momentarily fill your triceps with blood, but not ok if you want to tone your arms as quickly as possible. Because of the position your body is in when doing this exercise, it’s impossible to add a lot of weight to the movement without compromising your form. Without a lot of weight, you can’t tone your arms quickly.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation out there about arm exercises for women. Never has it been so confusing for women to get the right answers when they need them: now. But now you know what to look out for before starting your sexy arm workout program!
