Are Triceps Kickbacks Effective For Reducing Flabby Arms?
Having an idea of which exercises are a waste of time is just as important as having an idea of which exercises are the best. Unfortunately, some of the most prescribed arm exercises are extremely ineffective.
How did this come to be?
The truth is that, in this case, tradition has clouded common sense. It’s all too common for women to blindly do what the so called experts have been recommending.
Luckily for you, I’ve done all the research and I’m ready to share my findings. Why? Because I believe that getting sexy and toned arms shouldn’t involve the risk of injury.
Thus, here is my critique of triceps kickbacks for reducing flabby arms:
1. Summary: This is probably the most overrated triceps exercise out there. Seriously. I think this exercise is a waste of time for two main reasons. First, exercising one arm at a time is extremely inefficient. Second, you can’t use heavy weights when doing this exercise. And heavy weights are critical for the fastest arm toning.
2. Technical snapshot: Place one of your hands on a support structure like a bench. Lean forward with your knees slightly bent and keep your back straight. Grab a dumbbell with your free hand and align it with your torso. Bring the weight up by straitening your arm. Then slowly return it to the starting position. Repeat.
3. Frequent errors: Heave hoeing the weight up and down. Allowing the elbows to shift around. And not going all the way up and all the way down with the dumbbell.
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.
Low-Fat Dieting And Fat Arms
In your journey to get rid of fat arms you’ve probably come across a couple different types of diets. Perhaps figuring out which diet to follow created a little confusion.
Unfortunately, how do you make a choice with all the different fads out there? The good news is that many other women, including myself, have already gone through this process.
And unfortunately, all the varied marketing jargon can further confuse you when it comes to settling with a diet plan. You see, it’s the marketer’s job to make every single diet he promotes seem like the next best thing.
The good news, however, is that I am providing you with a critique of low-fat dieting for toned arms.
The benefits:
1. Easy to do: Cutting out fat isn’t rocket science.
The bad:
1. Less calories burned around the clock: Without a hefty amount of dietary fat, your metabolism will plummet. Your cellular machinery requires fat to function properly.
2. Less focus and IQ: Certain types of fats form the grey mass that is your brain. Moreover, the neurons in your brain need fat to communicate properly.
3. Higher frequency of sick days: No fat means no immune system. Seriously. Those germ-eating cells of yours need fat to work hard.
4. Insulin resistance: This translates into more nutrients going to your arm jiggle. Without fat, insulin resistance goes up. Not good for toned arms.
5. Hunger pangs: Fat slows digestion. So once you eliminate it, your food will digest so quickly that you’ll end up with massive hunger waves. Not good!
The bottom line is that you need to eat fat in order to lose arm fat. A low fat diet will not help you get rid of those flabby arms. So please do not try this type of diet if you really want to reach sexy arm stardom!
