Exercise can rid your arms of flab
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Follow these steps and your underarm flab will be gone before you know it, Ediets.com reports.
A 'magical" end result will happen from a workout that makes the shoulders as important as the glutes, the chest as important as the hips -- and, yes -- the arms as important as the abs.
Everyone is fascinated by women who have sleek and tight arms -- biceps that look fit with a bit of muscularity, and triceps that look tight and firm.
These training concepts are not always seen in gyms and hardly performed by trainees.
As always, you do have to perform cardio and strength training to make changes; these are the best tools we have to improve a muscle from a cosmetic standpoint.
Antagonist Workouts -- Antagonist training refers to working opposing muscle groups in the same workout.
There are many methods to manipulate a workout, but I've had great success performing a biceps exercise, immediately followed by a triceps exercise.
For example, if you're performing three sets of dumbbell curls and three sets of triceps dumbbell extensions, you would perform the curl movement, and after completing the goal reps, immediately go to the triceps exercise.
Wait a bit and then continue the cycle (biceps exercise followed by triceps).
This allows you to use more weight poundage because the opposing muscle group gets a bit of a "rest" as you work the other muscle.
This is my all-time favorite way to work arms, and I've had my best success with clients using this method.
People tend to wait longer, or they repeat a set too soon.
3. The Tweak - This special move is for the biceps muscles, not the triceps (back of the arm).
For example, when performing a biceps curl with a dumbbell, most people will curl the weight up towards the upper arm and then return to the starting position and repeat.
