You might be having a difficult time choosing the right exercises to get rid of arm fat. If this is the case, rest assured that you’re not the only one.

When did choosing arm exercises become so perplexing? After all, every single guru out there seems to have a different view as to which exercises are the best.

And if the experts have different opinions, how are you supposed to pick the best exercises? In extreme cases, some women will suffer from analysis paralysis because of all the different viewpoints. Not good.

But I come to you with good news. I’ve already gone through all the information and sifted through all the marketing webs. And I’m ready to share my findings.

So without further delay, here is my review of triceps dips:

1. Overview: This is the most prescribed exercise for getting toned arms. And it’s the last exercise any women wishing to maintain shoulder health should do. It puts too much stress on the AC joint.

2. Technical overview: Put your hands on the edge of a bench. Keep both heels of your feet firmly planted into the floor. Slowly lower your body by bending your arms at the elbows. Then bring your body back up.

3. Most common mistakes: Allowing the elbows to excessively shift around. Not keeping the back properly aligned along its axis. And using a heave hoeing motion to get the body moving.

4. Final word: The risk is not worth it. Do not do this exercise if you with to maintain the integrity of your shoulder joint. There are equally effective exercises that are not as risky as this one.

Staying healthy should be a top priority in your quest to get rid of arm fat. After all, what’s the point of getting toned arms if you destroy your shoulders in the process? Not good! So make sure you do your research before getting on an arm toning program that someone else has prescribed. And never do something just because everybody else is doing it. Always question why!
