You've seen them before on older folks and possibly some friends. Bat wings have struck again! These are those flabby things that hang from the back of your arms and jiggle around when you wave to someone. However, you don't have to be plagued by these forever. Working on your tricep muscle will do the trick.
The name tricep indicates that there are three heads to that muscle. Therefore, you simply cannot do only one exercise to work them; today I will give you one to add to your repertoire.
2. Hold weight with right arm. Support body with left arm. For a challenge, perform exercise with both arms simultaneously.
3. Bring right elbow up and back behind you so that upper arm is parallel to the floor; bring elbow higher if you can. Keep shoulders down.
4. Extend elbow until arm is straight. Think about that tricep muscle on the back part of your arm working.
5. Repeat on both sides.
Triceps are good pushing muscles to have. You never know when you'll have to push a kid on a swing; they will be so grateful for you and impressed by your lack of bat wings.
In health,
Lauren
