Are you having a hard time choosing the right exercises for losing that loose arm fat? Is all the advice out there confusing you? Well, I suspect that most women are utterly paralyzed by all the information overload.

Maybe you are frustrated with all the advice.

Now don’t start panicking because I’ve been there and done that and I’m ready to share what I’ve learned because I don’t want you wasting any time!

So here is my review of wide grip barbell curls for losing arm fat:

1. Summary: If done with perfect form, this exercise is one of the best for toning the biceps. A variation of the regular barbell curl, it puts more emphasis on the inner part of the biceps. And although the biceps is not where arm fat hangs from, it’s the first muscle someone sees when greeting you from the front.

2. How to do it: Grab a barbell with an underhand grip. Stand straight with your abs tight. Don’t let your back bend. Raise the barbell to slightly below shoulder level. Then lower it and repeat.  Read more...

We live in a day and age where information is more accessible and available than ever before. But with all this information comes a major issue: horrible advice.

Unfortunately, if you buy into these misconceptions, you could end up failing to get the body you so desperately want. Even worse, you may simply lose any motivation you had.

So here are some common mistakes to avoid when losing fat:

1. Not squatting with the head up: This is more common than you may think. And if you squat with improper alignment, you will eventually injure your lower back. So make sure you always squat with your head tilted slightly upward or with your eyes level.

2. Abusing the treadmill: Treadmills should be used sparingly. You see, when you abuse a treadmill, you put a lot of stress on the lower body. Over time this isn’t so good for you. So make sure you focus on machines that work your upper and lower body for the best cardio benefits.

3. Using a comfortable pace: You should only be comfortable if you are a beginner learning exercise movements for the very first time. After this point, you should constantly strive to push yourself to the outer edge of your abilities. This is the only way to get maximum results.  Read more...

Many exercise experts have conflicting stances on the best exercises for getting toned arms. Has all the conflict left you in a state of confusion? I remember how it left me pretty confused.

After all, if the experts are having a hard time reaching a consensus, how are you supposed to make a decision?

But not all hope is lost. After all, I want to teach you what I’ve learned so that you don’t have to waste your precious time. Time that could be used losing arm fat.

So without further ado, here is my review of curls with palms forward for losing arm fat:

1. Summary: This is an excellent exercise for working the bicep through a complete range of motion. Exercises that work a muscle through complete ranges of motion usually produce faster results. This particular variation of the dumbbell curl works the outer portion of your bicep muscle.

2. Technique: Straighten your arms and maintain both palms facing forward. Grasp two dumbbells while keeping your core contracted. Bring both dumbbells up in a controlled manner. Then slowly lower them.  Read more...

Having an idea of which exercises are a waste of time is just as important as having an idea of which exercises are the best. Unfortunately, some of the most prescribed arm exercises are extremely ineffective.

Why does this happen?

Well, I believe we have a case of tradition overshadowing modern science. It seems as though certain fitness experts have been recommending specific arm exercises for so long that most women simply do them without any questioning.

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.

Thus, here is my critique of triceps kickbacks for reducing flabby arms:

1. Summary: This is probably the most overrated triceps exercise out there, seriously. I think this exercise is a waste of time for two main reasons. First, exercising one arm at a time is extremely inefficient. Second, you can’t use heavy weights when doing this exercise. And heavy weights are critical for the fastest arm toning.  Read more...

The triceps is the area where the arm flab resides. It’s that one spot that so many women have become self conscious about. And if you want to tighten up your arms, you have to know what exercises to do.

Unfortunately, there are an excess of opinions on which exercises are best for losing arm flab.

There is so much advice out there that you could become lost in the sea of information. Or even worse, you might never get started because of analysis paralysis.

Thus, here is my critique of triceps extensions for reducing flabby arms:

1. Summary: This is an excellent exercise for toning the triceps. It mainly works the long head of the triceps-the exact area where arm fat hangs from. The only thing you have to watch out for with this exercise is maintaining good from.

2. How to do it: Stand erect facing away from the machine. Grasp the machines bar with an overhand grip. Maintain your arms behind your head. Dig into the ground with your heels and extend your arms. Then slowly return the bar to the starting position, repeat.  Read more...
