Arm Exercises for Women

The best arm exercises for women can help you tone and strengthen your arms without making them bulky or spending a fortune on gym memberships or equipment. Your arm exercises should target the two primary muscle groups of your upper arm- the biceps and triceps- but can also help you to tone and shape your shoulders and forearms. Please be assured that using weights for your arms workouts will not necessarily lead to building overly muscular arms.

An Exercise for the Biceps

Bar Bell Curls- The bar bell bicep curl should be the primary exercise in your bicep workout as it helps to tone and strengthen the bicep and is relatively easy to perform correctly.

How to do it- You should stand with your feet apart to shoulder-width and then raise the bar. Curl the bar up just above chest height, keeping your back straight and shoulders lower than your chest. Go slowly when both raising and lowering the bar and keep your elbows still and at your sides. Perform 3-4 sets of 8-10 repetitions per workout.

An Exercise for Triceps

Triceps Kickback- The triceps kickback is done with a dumbbell and can help provide great toning and shape to the triceps muscles.

How to do it- You begin the exercise by kneeling with one leg on a bench and holding the dumbbell in the hand on the same side as the kneeling leg. Look straight ahead and make sure your back stays straight. Hold the weight at a 90 degree angle and, with your elbow still, extend the weight back. Perform 3-4 sets of 8-10 repetitions per arm for each workout.

Final Thoughts Regarding Arm Exercises and Toning

Of course, the best way to bring out the shape of your arms is by losing some fat. Cutting calories and incorporating cardiovascular exercises into your workouts can help you achieve that. Before starting any new diet or exercise routing, you should consult your physician or another qualified medical expert.
