How To Make Your Arm Toning Exercises More Effective
There are two ways of doing arm exercises for women: the effective way and the ineffective way. And most women are stuck with the ineffective way. They keep on doing the same thing week in and week out, and expect to see results.
But I’m going to make sure you don’t get stuck with the ineffective way. I am going to make sure you don’t fall into a flabby arm rut. Because nothing is more demoralizing.
So what’s the number one thing that makes arm exercises for women effective? Intensity, that’s right, intensity is the name of the game. I don’t care how flashy your exercises are, if you don’t apply enough intensity, you will never get sexy arms.
So without further ado, here are 4 strategies for taking your arm exercises to the next level:
1. Failure sets: A common tool used by bodybuilders, you do these as the last set of an exercise. Use a lighter weight that allows you to get in at least 20 repetitions and make sure you go to failure. This isn’t easy by an stretch of the imagination, but it’s very effective.
2. Super-setting: Perhaps one of the most intense strategies, super-setting involves doing one arm exercise immediately after another without any rest whatsoever. What you get for all this effort: sexy arms in no time.
3. Curling with a support structure: You have to do biceps curls if you want the complete sexy arm look. Just take a quick look at Madonna’s or Michelle Obama’s arms and you’ll notice that both their triceps and biceps are toned. What the best way to make your bicep curls more effective? Lean against something like a post or wall when doing them.
4. Squeezing at the end of each triceps exercise: It will burn and your arm fat will scream for help. This is a great tool for directly targeting the area where arm fat resides-the triceps. The key here is to pause and really squeeze at the end of the exercise. Again, expect to use lighter weights when using this technique.
So are you going to do your arm exercises for women the easy way or the hard way? I hope you choose the hard way, because that is how you are going to get results. Anything less, and you are wasting time. If you are really serious about making a change, your success will be directly proportional to how much intensity you put forth.
And make sure to take action sooner rather than later. After all, later usually never comes!
