Arm Exercises for Girls

lmnosser

Hey guys!

So, i generally just run to work out, but I'd like my arms to be less flabby.

Any recommendations?

What works for you?

Yes...I want to know too! Hate these flabby arms!

You know how your arm flaps in the wind when you wave your hand....that is the tricep muscle. Try to work the tricep and the bicep (different days). There are a TON of different exercises you can do for it.

Push ups and dips are two very effective arm exercises and you don't need any machines to do them... Dips are especially effective for the triceps, push up are more for the biceps...

dumbbell kickbacks, overhead tricep press, chair/bench dips, pushups, and lateral raises to side and front will all help tone your arms from shoulder, bicep and tricep

You have the same arm muscles as men. You train in the same way!

BEFORE anyone says it - you cannot get big because you won't have the calories in your diet to allow that. You need a massive calorie surplus to build muscle.

Start at your local library. They have tons of books with discriptions and pictures for stregnth training. I suggest "New Rules of Lifting for women" to start:)

You can do the same arm exercises the boys do. If you don't go to a gym and don't have any equipment, you can still do push-ups, pull-ups, I don't know what it is called where you stand in front of the chair and lower down with your arms and chair behind you and do dips. You can do curls, etc.

There are some good workout videos that I like that have some arm focus. It is something I am working on as well!

push ups and dips work but it takes time to see results.

Exactly what I was thinking......

Same arm workouts that guys do.. We're not that different!

Just grab some weights and start off by incorporating it with your workout (lunges and bicep curls, squatting and doing "boxing" style punches with the weights in your hands) and then when you're feeling more adventurous go for some better weights at the gym (I'd recommend getting an instructor to show you so you have the right posture etc) stand trying bench presses, deadlifts etc.

Hope that helps!

Same here. Train like a man. You'll still look like a girl.
