At one point in my life, my main goal was to unearth the top methods for doing arm exercises for women.
My arm fat was out of control. It would keep on jiggling even after my body had stopped moving. I had had enough. I hope you don’t have the same issue.
It can be a tough fight, but rest assured that there is hope. You see, there are top methods for exercising your arms. Unfortunately, most women stumble because they don’t know what the top methods are. In fact, many women confuse the wrong methods with the top methods!
But it’s not their fault. You could spend an entire lifetime trying to figure out what information is accurate. There are simply way too many savvy marketers out there ready to empty out your purse! So here are 4 pitfalls to avoid when doing arm exercises for women:
1. Big stability balls. Are you getting ready for the circus or the special night when you can finally show off your arms and wear that sexy dress? Stability balls are big, bouncy, and can be very fun to use. But there are NOT effective tools for targeting your arm muscles. Stick to weights only.
2. The bouncy bosu. Again, bosu balls limit the amount of weight you can use when exercising. They are great for increasing balance, coordination and stabilization. But are you getting ready for some type of balance challenge or the day when you can finally go sleeveless?
3. The one-foot exercise. Personal trainers will confidently claim that exercising on one foot increases propioception (coordination of body parts), and they are right. Increasing propioception, however, is not your goal. Getting sexy arms is.
4. Five pound weights. Perhaps these would be appropriate starting weights if you are a beginner. But I have never met a female client who could not use heavier weights within two workouts. Stick to light weights, and your arm flab will never come off. Period.
The main key here is to not be wowed by the fitness industry’s gimmicks when learning how to do arm exercises for women. You have to train your arms hard and heavy to get the fastest results. And now you know 4 things you shouldn’t be doing when exercising your arm flab off.
