Many women in mid life suffer from flabby upper arms. The Muscle to the ‘front’ of the upper arm is called the Bicep, and the muscles to the rear of the ‘upper arm’ are called the triceps. But what most women try to do is that they try to lose the weight off of the arm rather than trying to tone them up through exercise.

If you do try to lose weight from them, it is almost certain that you will lose weight elsewhere before you start to lose it from your arms, places like your chest, neck or stomach.

Exercise is definitely the most beneficial way to improve the look of your upper arms by toning them up.

Here are a few exercises to help trim those arms!

Kickbacks

Hold weights in both your hands and bend over until your torso is parallel to the floor. Then bend the elbows so that your forearms are at a right angle to your torso. Then straighten the arm behind you, squeezing the triceps tight and then slowly bend your elbows to bring your hands back to their starting position.

Tricep Extensions

Stand or sit down on the edge of a seat with a dumbell in both hands. With your elbows bent behind your head at 90 degrees. Then straighten your arms above your head, squeezing your triceps tight, trying to keep your elbows as still as possible.

Tricep Dips   

You can do this on a chair or sitting on the floor. Support your body weight on both hands whilst sitting, place your hands beside your hips and stretch your legs out in front of you. Then take your body weight on both hands and move your weight forward slightly. Then lower your bum down while bending your elbows. Then push back up without locking your elbows. If you have wrist or shoulder problems, be careful with this one, I suggest that if you do, miss it out.
