We have a new blog and we couldn't be more excited! Our first post is dedicated to the Fifty5Fitness ladies who come in on their first day wanting to get rid of that under-arm jiggle! To start off our blog, read on to find out how to say buh-bye to the bat wings!
Our strength training classes in Winnipeg target the triceps with many different exercises in every class we offer. Today we're going to walk you though a simple tricep exercise you can do at home in between studio classes! All you'll need is a set of weights - and a mirror always comes in handy so you can check your form!
Start Here (A)
Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hinge from your hips to bring your torso to an incline. Keep your spine long from your tailbone to the crown of your head. Holding on to your weights in each hand, guide your elbows alongside your ribcage. Look down a few feet in front of you and engage your core to keep your lower back stable and injury-free.
Movement (B)
Maintain the same angle in your torso, then extend the weights behind you allowing your tricep muscles to do all the work! Pause for one second, then bend at the arms to return back to start. Think about keeping your elbows tucked in close and only moving your arms from the elbows down to complete this exercise.
Start with a light weight between 2-5lbs and try 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions, and you'll be saying buh-bye to those bat wings in no time! For more strength training tricep exercises, join us for women's fitness classes in Winnipeg with Fifty5Fitness!
