This exercise works your arms while helping to tweak the tricep muscle that is located on the back of your upper arm. STEP #1: Start by holding a dumbbell in each hand ... with you arms hanging beside your body. STEP #2: Stand tall with your feet planted [either together or shoulder-width apart] so that your body is stationary and not rocking back and forth during the exercise. STEP #3: Keep your head facing forward and your neck in alignment with your spine. STEP #4: Twist the dumbbells so that your palms are facing behind you. STEP #5: Push your palms back until you feel your triceps tightening. STEP #6: Keeping that pressure on your triceps, execute a pulsating movement [baby pulse ... pulse ... pulse ...] ... focusing on working your triceps. STEP #7: Repeat for 20-30 pulses ... or until your triceps are fatigued. | Side View: |

This exercise works your arms while really focusing on building/sculpting your shoulder muscles. STEP #1: Stand tall with your feet together. STEP #2: Grab two light dumbbells and hold them by your side with your palms facing forward. STEP #3: During this movement, make sure you maintain a stationary torso [no swinging of the body]. STEP #4: Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, slowly lift the dumbbells [leading with the head of the dumbbell] until you reach shoulder height. STEP #5: Try not to go too far above shoulder height. Side View: | Front View:STEP #6: Pause for a moment. STEP #7: Slowly lower your arms back to your sides. STEP #8: Without releasing the tension in your arms, repeat the exercise. NOTE: The shoulder muscles are a smaller muscle group that doesn't take a lot of weight to fatigue. I always suggest starting off with a lighter weight so that you make sure you are executing the movement accurately. NOTE: This exercise can also be performed while sitting down [which would be advised if you tend to swing your body]. |
