What are good weight moves to tone the underside of my arms?

Question

My shoulders and forearms are fine, but I need a way to tone up my flabby underarms. Thanks!

Answer 1

I assume you're referring to your triceps?

Any exercise which involves pushing outward with your arms (holding your arms in front of your body and bending your elbows, then straightening them, or any backward motion of your forearms) will get your triceps into shape.

The triceps are the largest muscle group on your upper arm.

There are a number of positions you can assume to make the workouts more effective.

The most common would involve bending your arm in a "chicken wing" fashion. Slowly extend your forearm behind your body. You should feel your triceps flexing. You may add weight to this motion but keep in mind that most individuals don't have very strong triceps, so a lot of weight is not necessary at first.

This exercise is best done sitting down, and leaning slightly forward. Place your free arm just behind your knees, and make certain you don't completely straighten your elbows on the "push out" motion. Keep a slight bend at all times to prevent hyperextension.

You can also hold a weight directly above your head with both hands- then slowly bend your arms behind your head, and lift back to the starting position. With this exercise keep your palm facing as parallel to the ceiling as you can. This can be done sitting or standing.

Push-ups are also an excellent way to work your triceps, and push-ups will also work your pectoral muscles.

These are very simple exercises to help get your triceps into shape. I suggest repeating the motions slowly, breath in when you bend your elbow, breathe out when you flex. Perform the repetition 10-12 times, then rest for about 45 seconds (most people just switch arms, as one arm is resting while the other is working). Repeat this twice more, and if you reach a point where you can't make it to 12 repetitions, stop, rest, and start the next set. The goal is not to get all 12 reps in each time; at least not yet. You want to get a "burning sensation" in your muscle.

When you can perform 12 repetions within 3 sets (a total of 36 reps for each arm), that is your signal that your body has adjusted to this exercise, and it is time to add weight.

What I like about the exercises I've suggested are the fact that you can do them anywhere, with any weighted object, and since you don't need huge amounts of weight, you don't need a spotter, or someone to make certain you don't drop anything on yourself.

Work out every other day (making certain to watch your diet), and you will soon see results.

Good luck!

No, the shake weight does not artwork. the quantity of circulate on your top arm is purely too small to burn an important quantity of fat or build muscle mass. in case you're woman i could shows low weight x severe frequency bicep curls. in case you're male and attempting to bulk up i could recommend severe weight x decrease frequency (6-8 reps), 3 instruments. the two way, consume a controlled nutrition ordinary besides to maintain the fat off and your muscle mass toned. The shake weight will basically make your arm sense drained with none effects. you assume effects to return in view which you're so drained by using the circulate is purely too constrained for something severe to ensue.

Answer 4

lie on your back and hold the weights above your chest. Slowly lower them just above your head and then back up. You should feel the burn in your triceps. Do about 10-12 reps and 2-3 sets a day and you will be rippin'. Bye

Answer 5

Try chair dips. Easy and you can do them anywhere.
Sit on the edge of a chair with your hands on the edge of the seat. Walk forward until your butt is completely off the chair. Your arms should be behind you. Lower yourself. Repeat.

Answer 6

push-ups, pull-ups, and jumping jacks, are good under arm toners, as well as reverse curls, and lots of stretching.
