The secret to building toned, sculpted arms isn’t just down to having big biceps, but triceps too (they actually make up around 60 to 70% of your total arm!). Knowing this, you’re now probably keen to get working on them and we’ve got a perfect workout to help you do just that, using apair of dumbbells.
As well as helping to strengthen your arms and give them that overall defined look, training your triceps shouldn’t go amiss. They’re responsible for extending the elbow joint and straightening your arm, plus the long head of the tricep is attached to your shoulder — so regularly exercising them will support both these areas. You also use your triceps to push, so daily activities — like pushing a lawn mower or pram — will rely upon these muscles.
You have the option of seven exercises for this workout and you’re going to choose three of them. Some require a pair of dumbbells, while others use just your bodyweight. However, I’d pick at least two dumbbell exercises, just for some extra resistance so that your muscles can work harder, which will help build strength and muscle. You’ll do 10 reps for each of your chosen exercises and you’re going to repeat the workout three times. Make sure you have something soft beneath you too, like anexercise/yoga mat, as nearly all these movements are performed on the floor. Here’s your exercises:
