Most fitness experts have a different opinion on the best exercises for reducing arm fat. Perhaps all these different opinions have you a little frustrated. I know I was frustrated at one point in time.
And how are you supposed to decide what information to act on if the gurus aren’t in agreement? Not a good situation!
The good news is that I’ve already dealt with this issue. And I’m ready to share my findings after years and years of research.
Thus here is my critique of curls with palms forward for eliminating bingo wings:
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. How to do it: Stand erect with dumbbells in each hand. Keep your arm straight and palms facing forward. Keep your abs tight and raise both dumbbells. Then lower them in a controlled manner, repeat.
3. High frequency mistakes: Jerking the weight up with momentum. Allowing the elbows to reach shoulder level. And not keeping the chest up and shoulder blades back.
4. Bottom line: This is a great exercise that every woman should include in their arm toning program. Combined with proper nutrition, this is a great tool for reducing arm fat. Just make sure that you maintain strict form when going heavy. And remember that going heavy gets you faster results.
Learning the best exercises for arm fat reduction shouldn’t be like finding a needle in a haystack. Ignore the marketing hype and all the flashy gadgets-stick to what works! And remember that intensity is by far the most important factor for sexy arm success. Even when doing mediocre exercises, if you apply the right amount of intensity you’ll get good results.
