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.
And make sure you don’t get overwhelmed by all the information out there. You have to get into the habit of taking action quickly.
Here are 4 critical things you should NOT be doing when performing flabby arm exercises:
1. Keeping their eyes closed. I know this sounds a little out there, but many fitness trainers have their clients close their eyes to increase coordination. But the million dollar question is, are you trying to increase coordination or lose arm fat as quickly as possible?
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. Repeating the same workout. Doing this is the fastest way to reach a plateau. And plateaus are the most demoralizing thing out there. Seriously. Aim to have a new and fresh workout every single time you enter the gym.
4. Body-weight movements. Maybe ok for beginners, but not ok for those that want fast results. You see, free weights are much better because they allow you to work the arm muscles from many angles with any amount of weight.
Navigating all the information out there on flabby arm exercises can be overwhelming. In fact, many women get so overwhelmed that they simply never get off the couch. The key is to take action even if you have limited information. And with the above tips, you can be well on your way to sexy arm stardom.
