Having an idea of which exercises are a waste of time is just as important as having an idea of which exercises are the best. Unfortunately, some of the most prescribed arm exercises are extremely ineffective.

Why does this happen?

Well, I believe we have a case of tradition overshadowing modern science. It seems as though certain fitness experts have been recommending specific arm exercises for so long that most women simply do them without any questioning.

Luckily for you, I've done all the research and I'm ready to share my findings. Why? Because I believe that getting sexy and toned arms shouldn't involve the risk of injury.

So without further delay, here is my review of triceps kickbacks for getting toned arms:

1. Overview: So many women do this exercise day in and day out in the hopes of getting rid of those flabby arms. Yet this exercise has some major limitations. Not only is it extremely inefficient to exercise one arm at a time, but it's also impossible to use heavy weights with this movement.

2. How to do it: Keep your knees slightly bent and lean forward. Place one hand on a bench. Use your other hand to grab a dumbbell and align your arm along the torso. Lift the dumbbell by extending your arm. Then slowly lower it.

3. High frequency mistakes: Not keeping the elbows frozen in place. Jerking the dumbbell up and down. And not using the full range of movement.

4. Final word: I know a lot of women do this exercise and a lot of trainers recommend it, but this doesn't mean that you should do it. In fact, this is the most overrated exercise for toning the triceps area.

The key to getting rid of flabby arms is to do things that give you results in the shortest amount of time possible. Please do not waste your time doing ineffective exercises. There are much better exercises that will get you much faster results.
