Many exercise experts have conflicting stances on the best exercises for getting toned arms. Has all the conflict left you in a state of confusion? I remember how it left me pretty confused.

And with all the conflicting stances out there, how are you supposed to figure things out? This can be a very frustrating scenario.

But not all hope is lost. After all, I want to teach you what I’ve learned so that you don’t have to waste your precious time. Time that could be used losing arm fat.

So without further ado, here is my review of curls with palms forward for losing arm fat:

1. Snap shot summary: This exercise mainly focuses on the outside portion of your biceps in your upper arm area. It also does a great job at working the biceps through its entire range of motion-few exercises do this effectively.

2. How to do it: Stand erect with dumbbells in each hand. Keep your arm straight and palms facing forward. Keep your abs tight and raise both dumbbells. Then lower them in a controlled manner, repeat.

3. What not to do: Raising the dumbbells too high which engages the front shoulder muscles instead of the biceps. Not keeping the shoulder blades retracted and chest popped out. Jerking the dumbbells up which uses momentum instead of muscle.

4. Bottom line: This is a great exercise that every woman should include in their arm toning program. Combined with proper nutrition, this is a great tool for reducing arm fat. Just make sure that you maintain strict form when going heavy. And remember that going heavy gets you faster results.

Now I firmly believe that learning the right exercises for reducing bingo wings shouldn’t be like navigating a mine field. In order to prevent this from happening to you, please ignore all the marketing jargon and fad gadgets. If a exercise is really flashy then it probably isn’t very effective. And never forget that intensity is the number one factor for sexy arm success.
