Move of the Day...Get the Wiggle out of your Wave!

Triceps Kickback!

Using a cable at the gym, or weights in your own home, this simple move will tone up your arms.

Set-up: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hold the weight or the D-handle for the pulley. Bend forward to 45 degrees with your knees slightly bent.

Action: Keep your arm close to your body and extend your elbow posteriorly in a straight line. Do not lock your elbow and keep your wrist strong. Focus on the movement and the contraction of your triceps. Return slowly.

As with every exercise, focus on the movement and the muscles being used. Both contraction and relaxation should be slow and controlled for max benefits.
