Knowing which exercises to include in an arm toning workout is just as important as knowing which exercises not to include. After all, some of the most highly recommended exercises for getting rid of flabby arms are very dangerous.

How did this happen?

I believe the root of the problem lies in tradition. There are certain exercises that women have been doing for so long that they keep on doing them without any questioning. Not good.

The good news is that I’ve been figuring all this stuff out for quite some time now. And I’m ready to share my knowledge because I believe that every woman deserves sexy arms.

So without further delay, here is my review of triceps kickbacks for getting toned arms:

1. Snapshot: This movement has two enormous drawbacks. First, you are limited to using very light weights. Not good for maximum arm toning. Second, exercising one arm at a time is as inefficient as it gets.

2. Technical overview: Find a low bench. Place one of your hands on it while leaning forward with knees slightly bent. Use your free hand to grasp a weight. Keep the same arm aligned with your torso. Lift the weight by straightening out your arm. Slowly lower it and repeat.

3. Frequent mistakes: Not going through the entire range of motion. Swinging up and down to move the weight rapidly. And not keeping the elbows locked in position.

4. Bottom line: Just because all the other women in your gym are doing this exercise doesn’t mean that you should. There are far better exercises out there for toning the triceps. Do not buy into this one.

Having an effective selection of arm toning exercises for your workouts is critical for flabby arm success. Anything less would be a waste of time. So never do what everybody else is doing without first questioning the practice. Only then will you get sexy and lean arms!
