There are specific ways of doing flabby arm exercises that give you the biggest bang for your buck. And there are ways of doing said exercises that give you the smallest bang for your buck.
And in some cases, the technique used is so poor that serious injury results. I had to learn this the hard way. My loss is your gain. Please learn from my mistakes.
Before I get started, I would like to point out that you need to avoid being overwhelmed by all the information out there. Simply take action even if you have limited information. Action is the only thing that will produce results.
So here are 4 big mistakes women make when performing flabby arm exercises:
1. Closing your eyes. As ridiculous as this sounds, many trainers will have their clients close their eyes to increase coordination. Not only is this unnecessary, but it limits the maximum amount of weight you can use. And you need maximum weights if you want to get rid of the flab ASAP.
2. High-repetition work. You will not tone your arms any faster by doing 12 or more repetitions per set. You will actually slow down the toning process because higher repetitions (and lighter weights) do not work all your muscle fiber types. And you need to work all your muscle fibers types if you want the sexiest arms possible.
3. The exact same workout for extended periods of time. I don’t know how some women can endure the psychological boredom of doing the same workout week in and week out. Not only is this boring for your mind, but it’s boring for your body. And if your body gets bored, you’ll stop getting results.
4. Exercises with the weight of the body. Perhaps appropriate for beginners. But if you want the fastest results you are much better served using free weights. Free weights allow you to work your muscles from many angles with as much weight as you want.
Don’t get bogged down with all the information about flabby arm exercises. You have to take action or results will never come! Simply ignore the feeling of overwhelm and get started now, not tomorrow. With the above pointers in mind, your toned arms will be right around the corner.
