Top Exercises For Arm Toning

Top Exercises For Arm Toning

by Katherine Crawford M.S.

Finding the top-tier arm toning exercises can be virtually impossible because of all the contradictory information out there. There is so much information that deciding on what to act on could give you a mental hernia.

Unfortunately, the excess of contradictory opinions on the best arm toning exercises can leave you completely stumped. And in some cases, said opinions could leave you injured. No joke.

How do you figure out what opinions to keep and what opinions to disregard? If the so called gurus can't agree, what are you to do???

So I have decided to create that resource for you. I will be evaluating as many exercises as I can. Today we will look at hammer curls:

1. Quick summary: This type of curl works your forearms and to a lesser degree, your biceps. It's a variation of the classic dumbbell curl that gym rats across the world do all the time.

2. Technique jump-start: Grasp a pair of dumbbells, keep your palms facing each other and stand straight up. Raise both dumbbells until they are slightly below shoulder height. Then lower them.

3. Mistakes with highest frequency. Letting the palms slightly rotate upwards. And allowing the back to round out which puts strain on the spine.

4. Bottom line. This is a great exercise if you want to work your forearms. But for the flabby, upper portion of your arm this is not your best choice. I don't recommend doing this exercise unless you have weak wrists.

Is the arm toning confusion starting to clear up a little? If not, make sure you don't miss my next review of arm exercises for women. Learning how to exercise the right way is a cinch once you have a reliable source of information.
