Easy Exercise of the Week: Lying Triceps Extension

Gets your arms toned by beefing up your triceps

Eric Lalor

Gets your arms toned by beefing up your triceps.

Instructions:

  • Lie on a bench holding two dumbbells in front of you. Your arms should be fully extended at a 90-degree angle from your torso and the floor.
  • The palms should be facing in and the elbows should be tucked in tight by your side. This is the starting position.
  • Keep your upper arms stationary with the elbows in, slowly lower the weight until the dumbbells are near your ears.
  • At that point, while keeping the elbows in and the upper arms stationary, use the triceps to bring the weight back up to the starting position as you breathe out.
  • Repeat for desired amount of reps
