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.

And with all the advice out there some women are simply lost.

The reality is that many women are utterly lost and confused when it comes to picking the right exercises for reducing flabby arms. All the opinions leave some women paralyzed with indecision.

So without further delay, here is my review of machine triceps extensions for reducing flabby arms:

1. Snap shot: This exercise does a great job of targeting the long head of the triceps. This is the specific area where most arm fat hangs from. It’s commonly referred to as the bingo wing.

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.

3. Frequent mistakes: Allowing the back to fall out of alignment. Not keeping the elbows frozen in place. Allowing the head to dip forward. And pushing against the machines bar after the triceps have reached the point of absolute fatigue.

4. Final word: This is a top-tier exercise for directly toning the area where most women need help. The area where the jiggle lives! And remember that you can go heavy with this one and have minimal risk for injury. So make this exercise a staple in your arm toning program.

For the fastest results you have to perform the most effective exercises. Anything less and you’ll have to spend more time and energy trying to lose arm flab. Even worse, if you do the wrong exercises you could significantly increase your risk of injury. So stick to basic exercises that allow you to use heavy weights with minimal risk of injury.
