female arms


Recommended Posts

i assume ur talking about triceps ;)

without weights u can try doing dips... either off the edge of a chair or something that height... *remember* the farther ur legs are from u the harder it is... the closer they are to u the easier :)

u can also do kickbacks... u dont have to have weights... try holding a can of veggies or sauce or something in each hand...get on all fours... lift ur elbow backward so it is level with ur back and by only using ur forearms from ur elbow down, kick ur arms back so they are parallel to ur back... then release...

there are tons of things u can do with weights though... if thats even an option... if it is.. get back to us and we'll fill u in on some :)

oh yea and i forgot... tricep pushups also.. these can be kinda hard so try doing a few at a time without killing urself!

get into push up position... and instead of keeping ur hands wide, keep them close... it helps to make a diamond shape with ur hands... lower urself down and up.. and there u have it...

good luck :)

If you are referring to the "jiggly" part - then you are referring to fat not muscle. Back of the arm is another fat storage area for females - it sucks I know. But no amount of weights will take care of that.

Yes you need to build the muscle underneath - but the "jiggly" part can only be taken care through diet and cardio.

If you start lifting weights you'll be burning more calories anyway... you might not need to do more cardio. :aright:

have you been increasing your weights steadily?

i don't mean to imply that you're obtuse or anything, but some women never increase their weight amounts but wonder why they're not getting "toned."

Tone = muscle + low bodyfat. If lack "tone", it's because either (a) you're too fat or (B) you don't have enough muscle. Probably (B) by the sound of it. Make sure you actually BUILD that muscle to the point where you have the "tone" you want! :aright:

NO - 2 x's per week max with high intensity. You want to build muscle not continually break it down. And don't worry - you will not look like "Chyna" - Unless of course you supplement with drugs.

try that for now... see if its too much or too little... then go from there :) good luck... cardio is good but u definitely need to tone the area in order to tighten it up :)
