It's triceps time!
Time to battle those batwings!
It's that stubborn area we hate and never quite seem to be able to tone. Hence, the wings.... so gross. Well today, we have our guest columnist, Weebs, yoga/pilates instructor extraordinaire, to help us whip those wings into shape.
Weebs says:
To tone the triceps, first try tricep dips. Bend your elbows on a bench or even a chair and extend your legs (or bend your knees for beginners) and do dips down as far as you can go. These are challenging, but they work. Try 3 sets of 12. Then later, 3 sets of 15.
One of the best toners are arm circles. These are easy to do anywhere even for the Ragers out there that travel all the time. Get off that couch and stand up; extend your arms out to the side so you now look like a T. Let your fingers guide you into small (small girls!) circles forward for 10 counts and then backward circles for 10 counts. Then go back to forward circles for 10. Do these for a total of 100 counts. In my class, we do 160. Work up to this number.
Finally, the old school push up again! But this time, pull your elbows in toward to sides so you are using your triceps not your chest. These are a killer. Try 3 sets of 12 reps.
RAGE ON but don't forget to tone up!
Feel free to send me comments/ questions on the site. I'll be back next week with more!
