A Review Of Arm Exercises For Toning

A Review Of Arm Exercises For Toning

by Katherine Crawford M.S.

Do you know what the best arm exercises for toning are? Ask a couple fitness buffs and you'll get a different answer from each one. Could this get any more confusing?

If the experts have different opinions, how are you supposed to form an opinion? As you can see, this can get very very challenging to say the least.

So to help you out, I am going to be reviewing a bunch different arm exercises for toning. This should help clear up some of the confusion

My analysis of different arm exercises for toning should save you a substantial amount of time. Today I will be reviewing dumbbell curls:

1. Quick description: The best part of this exercise is that it targets your biceps through their entire movement pattern. This is great because it allows you to get more return on your time invested.

2. Exercise technique. Grab a dumbbell with each hand and stand erect with your palms facing inwards. Rotate one hand and bring the weight up in a controlled fashion. Slowly lower said weight. Do this for the other arm.

3. Common mistakes: Letting the shoulders round forward when bringing up the weight-very bad for your back. Raising the elbows when performing the upper portion of the movement. This takes stress off of the biceps and puts it on the front shoulders.

4. Conclusion. This is an excellent exercise that comes very close to being perfect. The only challenge is maintaining good form and posture when using heavier weights. And heavier weights are absolutely necessary for the fastest arm toning.

Now every woman who is serious about getting rid of arm flab should work their biceps. If you only focus on your triceps, you'll be short-handing yourself. And dumbbell curls are a top-tier movement for the biceps. Hopefully, I've demystified some of the "best arm exercises for toning" confusion!
