Summer’s here and as temperatures soar and shirt sleeves shorten, beauty should be the first thing on your mind!
Well, if your arms are in decent shape that is, if not read on and they can be! With toned triceps you can wave to your fans all you want (no more upper-arm jiggle!).
Tricep kickbacks are a terrific beginner exercise for and the simplest, easiest way to tone up flabby batwings by sculpting the backs of your upper arm and they can be done in the privacy (thank goodness!) and comfort of your own home. All you’ll need are a pair of dumbbells, roughly 1.5-2.5kg in weight (we’re aiming for tone not to be Vin Diesel ladies).
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand and stand with your feet hip-width apart with a slight bend to your knees.
- Bend over at the waist so that your torso is slightly above parallel with the floor. Bend both elbows so that your upper arms are locked at your sides parallel to the floor.
- Keeping your arms still, straighten your arms behind you until the end of the dumbbell is pointing down toward the floor with your palms facing in towards your body.
- Hold for a beat and inhale, slowly lowering your arms back to the starting position, and repeat.
To do this properly, remember to keep your abs tight and your back flat. Repeat 3 sets of 20 every second day and you should see a difference in two weeks.
