At one point in my life, my main goal was to unearth the top methods for doing arm exercises for women.

My arm fat was out of control. It would keep on jiggling even after my body had stopped moving. I had had enough. I hope you don’t have the same issue.

If you do, don’t worry. There are specific ways of doing arm exercises for women that will accelerate the arm toning process. The main problem, however, is that most women don’t know what the right ways are.

You could develop a mental migraine trying to decipher the best way to exercise your flabby arms away. Here are 4 things you should NOT be doing when performing your arm exercises for women:

1. The stability ball. I’m assuming your main goal is to get toned arms ASAP. Stability balls prevent this because they limit the amount of weight you can use when exercising. And to get toned arms quickly, you have to use the heaviest weights.

2. The bouncy bosu. Again, bosu balls limit the amount of weight you can use when exercising. They are great for increasing balance, coordination and stabilization. But are you getting ready for some type of balance challenge or the day when you can finally go sleeveless?

3. The one-foot exercise. Personal trainers will confidently claim that exercising on one foot increases propioception (coordination of body parts), and they are right. Increasing propioception, however, is not your goal. Getting sexy arms is.

4. 5lb dumbbells. If you use such light weights when working out, you’ll be spinning your arm flab wheels for a long time. Now if you are a true first time beginner, these might be appropriate starting weights. But you should be able to go heavier within a week. No excuses!

The fitness industry is going to throw flashy things at you all the time so that you keep on coming back for more. The key is to stick to what works, and disregard what doesn’t work. And with the 4 pitfalls I have just identified, you can better eliminate the unnecessary.
