This is the second in a series entitled “Exercise Band Workouts” which focus on at-home exercises with an exercise resistance band. Make sure that you are familiar with Part I, Bicep Curls.

Exercist #2: Standing Tricep Extensions

Tricep extensions are a perfect complement to the Bicep Curls that I showed you yesterday. The tricep is the muscle in your arm that is opposite the bicep. Biceps are said to be “pull” muscles whereas triceps are said to be the “push” muscles. This move is also simple to do and can yield great results over time. See the image below for general guidelines, but you should do this exercise standing up for balance.

1. One arm behind you holding the resistance band roughly in the midle
2. One arm bent overhead gripping the handle
3. Control the tension of the workout with your arm behind your back while you raise your other arm straight to the ceiling

Depending on the resistance of the band and your level of fitness, you want to repeat the move about 15-30 times then take about a 2 minute break and go again. In total, you want to aim for 5 sets. Make sure to do the moves slowly! If you do this consistently, you will notice that your arms will get toned and defined.

In addition to this exercise, I recommend that you take Proactol for weight loss. Proactol is a new doctor approved and clinically proven all natural weight loss supplement that can help you lose up to 6 pounds per week!
