Reshape With Resistance Bands: Triceps Extensions

There are many benefits to using resistance bands including the fact that they are flexible, inexpensive and simple to use, and can give you the same results you would get if you worked out in a gym or health club. There are many body parts that resistance bands are particularly effective on and one of the most difficult areas to target are the triceps. With resistance bands, you can tone and shape your triceps without needing to use any complicated machines or exercise equipment.

When using resistance bands always make sure to check the bands for any tears or rips. The band should be in good condition. Remember to breathe when exercising and let your movements flow in a smooth, graceful manner. Some people hold their breath and make the mistake of letting the resistance band snap back after each movement. This can cause unnecessary strain on the muscles as well as the band. Control the band with each movement to ensure the longevity of the resistance band and to get the best results from each exercise. If you find it hard to control the resistance band then you might need to drop to a lower level of resistance. It is very important that you are able to control the band, because without control you can harm your body, strain muscles or actually injure your arm or whatever part of the body you are using the band on.

Selecting resistance bands might seem confusing, but it shouldn’t be. The bands are color coordinated with each color signifying a different weight of resistance. Check with the manufacturer’s recommendations for identification of each band and its resistance level. Start off with a lower resistance level and work your way to more resistance.

The overhead triceps extension is a very effective exercise that helps eliminate the area underneath the arm. For older women, the triceps is often difficult to tone and is visibly seen as a flap that moves when a woman waves her arms or hands. The triceps extension will help firm and define that area without the need for heavy or expensive exercise equipment.

Begin the triceps overhead extension by keeping your left arm alongside your body, with the hand comfortably by your hip. Grip one of the ends of the resistance band in your left hand. If you feel that the band is too long, shorten the length by wrapping it around a bit and then gripping the excess length with your left hand. With the right hand, grip the other end of the resistance band and extend the right arm directly over your head. Keep the elbow of the extended arm close to the side of your head while you control the movement. You should not feel as if the band is going to snap out of your hand, but rather feel as if every movement is completely controlled. When your right hand is completely extended, return to the starting position and repeat the movement for 3 sets of 15 repetitions. When finished, alternate arms and repeat the exercise with the left hand reaching overhead, holding the band alongside the body with the right hand.

About the Author

Resistance bands are a popular choice of exercise equipment to use because they are light and easy to use. Many workout programs such as the
10 minute trainer fitness program
use bands instead of dumbbells. The
p90x fitness routine
also highly recommends resistance bands over dumbbells.
