Is figuring out how to tone arms really that difficult? It can be if you're wasting your time with an ineffective strategy. Hopefully, you aren't going around in circles like most women.
Now a lot of celebrities have recently found an approach that works. Madonna is one celebrity that has certainly developed a high degree of arm tone. Although some women may find this to be too much
And critical to any approach is doing the right exercises. You could spend all day doing the wrong exercises and never get results. I've been there and done that.
As a result, I will be reviewing as many arm exercises for women as possible. I think we all deserve to know what works and what doesn't. And on today's menu is single arm reverse push downs to tone arms:
1. Overview: Unlike regular reverse push-downs, this exercise targets the lateral head of the triceps. This area of the triceps makes up the outer portion of your upper arm. Considered a finishing move, single-arm reverse push-downs are not conducive towards heavy weights.
2. How to do it. Face a machine with a high pulley and handle. Grasp the handle with an underhand grip. Lock your elbow in place and lower the handle. Then slowly return it to the starting position.
3. Common errors: Allowing the elbow to move around. Grasping the handle with too much force which can cause pain in the wrist. And letting the chest cave in and the shoulders round forward.
4. Final word. I do not recommend this exercise to tone arms. It has two major drawbacks. First, it doesn't allow you to use heavy weights. Second, exercising one arm at a time is as inefficient as it gets. Seriously.
Is figuring out how to tone arms really that hard? Not really, just make sure you are learning from the right source of information. Because there is a lot of information out there that is simply worthless. And make sure you are doing effective exercises that are going to get you to your sexy arm goal. - 26706
