Flabby Arm Exercises - 4 Common Mistakes
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.
Even worse, if you make some common postural mistakes when doing the exercises, you could end up with some serious injuries. Luckily for you, I've spent a lot of time and money figuring all of this out.
So please do not fall under the paralysis by analysis spell!
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. The exact same workout for extended periods of time. I don't know how some women can endure the psychological boredom of doing the same workout week in and week out. Not only is this boring for your mind, but it's boring for your body. And if your body gets bored, you'll stop getting results.
4. Body weight exercises. I'm sorry, but body weight exercises do not allow you to place enough stress on your muscles. They may be appropriate if you are a beginner. However, the best approach is to use free weights with maximum intensity for maximum arm flab reduction.
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.
