Best Triceps Exercises

Women from all walks of life struggle to avoid the dreaded flabby, jiggly arms-and they often turn to personal trainers and fitness pros for help. “Guys always want to get rid of their bellies, while women always seem to want to tone their triceps,“ says John Porcari, Ph.D., an exercise physiologist with the University of Wisconsin and former personal trainer. But as with most clients, their time is constantly being gobbled up by work and family obligations, leaving very little extra time for regular exercise. They want results-and fast! With that in mind, the American Council on Exercise, the nation's Workout Watchdog, sponsored comprehensive research to determine which exercises are most effective-and efficient-for targeting the triceps. Armed with this new research, you'll be able to better guide your clients in their efforts to tone and strengthen their triceps.
