Time for some arm work to start the week strong!
The dumbbell overhead triceps extension works your triceps, which make up the majority of the muscle mass in your upper arms.
To be honest, I don’t know why I got on the ground for this video. You can do it the way I did, or you can do it standing, or seated in a chair. All of them work your triceps!
To do the triceps extensions:
- whether you are sitting or standing, keep your abs and glutes engaged. IE, don’t let your low back arch hard
- extend your arms overhead
- keep your elbows tucked, not flaring out
- bend at the elbows, then straight to return to your start position
You might have to put some pressure into the dumbbell via your fingertips so that the bell doesn’t knock your head or hair. Experiment with what works best for you.
Aim for 10-12 today. You can do this! I hope you feel great after these and have a wonderful Monday!
