1: Palms down curls
Work your forearms with this easy little move. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand – palms facing in and hands down at your side. Keeping your elbows next to the body and your palms down, raise the dumbbells up and out to the side until they are parallel to the floor then repeat!
2: Kickbacks
A kickback involves extending the arm while the torso is in a bent position. Hold a medium weight in both hands and bend over until your body is parallel to the floor. Make sure you bend your knees if needs be and keep your abs engaged to protect the lower back. Begin by bending the arms and bringing the elbows up to torso level. Holding the position, straighten your arms out behind you. Bring back to the starting position and repeat 10-16 times.
3: One arm tricep push-ups
This one’s a bit of a challenge and you’ll be surprised with its intensity! Start by lying on your right side with your knees bent and hips stacked. Wrap the bottom arm around your waist and place the left hand on the floor in front of you with your fingers pointing towards the right. Push your body up and off the floor, straightening the left arm as much as you can without locking the elbow. Lower a few inches and continue pushing up and down for about 8-12 reps before switching sides.
4: Tricep dips
The great thing about tricep dips is they don’t require any equipment so can be done anytime, anywhere (as long as you have a chair)! Start by sitting on a bench or chair with your hands next to, or slightly under the hips. Lift up onto your hands and bring your hips forward. Bend your elbows (no more than 90 degrees) and lower your hips down staying close to the chair and keeping your shoulders down. Push back up without locking the elbows and repeat 10-16 times.
5:Alternative dumbbell curl
The Alternative dumbbell curl is a great biceps exercise which allows you to focus on one arm at a time meaning you are able to handle more weight. To do this exercise, take two dumbbells and stand with your back straight and feet shoulder width apart. Curl one dumbbell up to your shoulder as if you were trying to curl it past your shoulder (this gives you a tighter contraction). Slowly lower the dumbbell again until it is in resting position it is back in the resting position, lifting the weight in your other hand at the same time.
