Are Wrist Curls a Good Arm Toning Exercise For Women?

Figuring out which arm exercises for women are the best can be extremely frustrating. But if you really want to get rid of that arm fat, there is hope!

The main reason for all this frustration lies in all the confusing opinions out there. There are simply too many options to digest.

And the average women does not know how to separate fact from fiction. You might end up pulling your hair out or emptying your purse. Yet I have some good news. I’ve already done all the hair pulling and purse emptying for you.

I am going to analyze as many arm exercises as I can so that there is no more confusion. After all, learning how to lose arm fat should not be stressful! So without further ado, here is my analysis of wrist curls:

1. Overview: This exercise is great for working the forearms, but that is not our goal. Our goal is to get rid of upper arm flab as quickly as humanly possible.

Thus, this is not a good exercise for your purposes.

2. Technique: Sit on a bench with forearms resting on your thighs. Grasp a barbell. Breathe out and raise the barbell. Then slowly lower it. Repeat.

3. High frequency mistakes: Grabbing the barbell with too much force which is painful for the wrists. Not using a full range of motion when doing the curl. And letting the elbows wiggle around.

4. Conclusion: You should not be doing this exercise unless you have a special condition that requires strong wrists and/or forearms. It does not tone your upper arm area. And you need to tone your upper arm area if you want to get rid of the jiggle.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible for me to review all of the best arm exercises for women in the space of a single article.

So stay tuned. Good luck!
