How to Firm Jiggly Arms with Triceps Workout

Most women find as they grow older, their arms begin to lose tone resulting in the infamous 'underarm jiggle'. There IS something you can do about it that will keep you in sleeveless tops and unashamed of your arms. The key to fixing that underarm jiggle is with triceps training. Those bags of sag that droop loosely from your arms and wiggle when you wave, can be transformed! Smooth and sexy arms can be yours, and it doesn't take that much work. Here are two exercises you can do at home with just a lightweight dumbbell. If you don't have one, even a can from your pantry will do!

Things You'll Need

• Lightweight dumbbell or a can from your pantry.

Instructions

1. Dumbbell Tricep Extension:
   Sit straight or stand for this one. Grab a dumbbell (a manageable weight) holding it over your head with both arms and slowly lower down behind your head... and then slowly return to start. You can also use just one arm at a time but of course make sure to lower the weight you would use.

2. Dumbell Kickbacks:
   Try these standing. Place one arm on your knee at a slightly bent over posture. With your free hand, take the dumbbell (a manageable weight) and hold it to your upper thigh. Your elbow should be bent and your upper arm should be in alignment with your upper body. Then, slowly raise your arm behind you in an upward motion.

   As you do this, your elbow and arm straighten out. Raise your arm until it is parallel to the floor and your arm is completely straight. Squeeze your triceps during the contraction for a second or two, then slowly bring the weight back down to your side.

3. Repeat these exercises for 2 - 3 sets of 10-12 reps on each arm, two to four times a week. You will be AMAZED at the results you will see!
