Knowing how to do arm exercises for women the right way is important because it’s not easy to hide extra arm jiggle. If you have floppy arm flab, your clothing selection will be severely limited.

In fact, you might as well throw away all those spaghetti strap tops you have hiding in the back of your closet. What happened to the arms you used to have as a twenty-something?

I never had sexy arms as a twenty year old. But I tried so hard to get them. I spent a small war chest on every exercise program and new supplement to hit the market. I experimented with everything out there.

Please learn from my mistakes! Here are some common misconceptions about arm exercises for women that you HAVE to look out for:

1. You can’t spot reduce. It’s true that you can’t selectively lose arm fat from only one area in your body. However, arm fat is only part of the equation. Moreover, I’ve seen countless women lose tons of fat and still not have toned arms. The key is to focus on tightening the arm muscle, and on changing the amount of water and carbohydrate within the muscle.

2. Push-ups are the best exercise for the back of the arm. Do push-ups and you’ll tighten your chest, not your arms. Most of the push-up movement isolates your chest. So please don’t waste your time doing them if you want sexy arms as quickly as possible.

3. Dips. If you do dips on a regular basis, a joint in your shoulder can eventually wear out. And the only solution is surgery and 9 months of rehab. Dips put your shoulder in a very compromising and unnatural position. Don’t do them regardless of what anyone says.

4. Kick-backs. These are ok if you want to momentarily fill your triceps with blood, but not ok if you want to tone your arms as quickly as possible. Because of the position your body is in when doing this exercise, it’s impossible to add a lot of weight to the movement without compromising your form. Without a lot of weight, you can’t tone your arms quickly.

With the above tips you should be able to better navigate all the advice out there about arm exercises for women. Getting sexy arms is not that difficult, but sifting through all the advice is. Good luck!
