More arm exercises from Maire Claire's fitness guru Joanna Hall! This one targets biceps and is called "Frontal Raises."
She starts out by explaining the major muscles in the front of the arm and which to target and why. So basically the front of your arm has two types of muscles - Short-haired and Long Haired. Target the long haired which goes from the shoulder to across the elbow joint to get long,sleek muscles. Don't do bicep curls.
Dumbbell Weight = .5 to 1.5 kilos or 1 to 3 lbs
Reps = 12 to 16
Keep elbows soft.
1. Make sure you hold the weight lightly b/c otherwise you are engaging the muscles of the forearm.
2. Make sure the elbow stays soft but not too bent. If the elbow is straight, the emphasis is on the joint.
3. Keep the wrists neutral to reduce the risk of energy. That means, not rolled out and not rolled in.
