There are certain arm toning exercises that should be a staple in your program. And there are certain exercises that you should stay away from like the plague. Unfortunately, many women are consistently doing exercises that they should be avoiding.
Why does this happen?
Well, I believe we have a case of tradition overshadowing modern science. It seems as though certain fitness experts have been recommending specific arm exercises for so long that most women simply do them without any questioning.
But I come to you with good news. I've already done all the questioning for you. And I'm ready to share all the answers to my questions.
Thus, here is my critique of kickbacks for getting rid of arm fat:
1. Snapshot: This movement has two enormous drawbacks. First, you are limited to using very light weights. Not good for maximum arm toning. Second, exercising one arm at a time is as inefficient as it gets.
2. How to do it: Keep your knees slightly bent and lean forward. Place one hand on a bench. Use your other hand to grab a dumbbell and align your arm along the torso. Lift the dumbbell by extending your arm. Then slowly lower it.
3. High frequency mistakes: Not keeping the elbows frozen in place. Jerking the dumbbell up and down. And not using the full range of movement.
4. To do or not to do: Do NOT do this exercise. It's the most overrated and overdone arm toning exercise out there. There are much more effective exercises that will get you faster results. Seriously.
The key to getting rid of flabby arms is to do things that give you results in the shortest amount of time possible. Please do not waste your time doing ineffective exercises. There are much better exercises that will get you much faster results.
