hello it's Peta from Facerobics today you're going to be learning the arm exercise
in the second series of Flexerobics so let's get to it little by little piece by piece
until I'm complete i hope you started doing your back exercises for series 2, Flexerobics and you
should be well on your way into that exercise today you're going to be learning the arm
exercise now with this exercise you're going to be working your triceps. In series 1 of Flexerobics
you worked your biceps so today we do the triceps and the triceps are the muscles underneath your
arm and they are opposite to the biceps now it's really exercise really easy exercise and you'll be
laying down and you'll be laying down doing all of these exercises by the way you don't
set up doing these exercises they are meant to be done laying down so as with this exercise you lay
down and you have your arm stretched out beside your body now as you do this what you'll be doing
what you'll be doing let's say you're laying down what you'll be doing is you'll be pressing
your arm onto the bed. Now you're only pressing this part of your arm
you're not pressing this because as you press that into the bed to this part it pushes this part of
the muscle up and it contracts it. It's very much like when you do the press and plant technique you
press one area and it contracts another area so this is the the technique and the the idea
that we're applying to this exercise. So you put your arm out and you press it down onto the bed
now here is a video that shows you how to do this and you can see in this video how I'm pressing
just my arm up to my elbow onto the bed that I'm laying on and you can see how the tricep is
starting to contract. So as you do this what will happen with this exercise it will start tightening
up this area of your arms and as we know women as we age that is one of the awful areas that we have
that starts to get flabby and is a real indicator of your aging. You know everything else can look
fantastic and then your arms and your hands look terrible so we have to look after them
so our whole body is looking youthful and while you're here that little subscribe button at the
bottom of your video, if you haven't subscribed already go ahead and click that button now.
Did you click it and if you did click the bell because you will then be subscribed to the channel
and notified when I update and upload videos also, remember to like my videos because that
really helps too. Now this is a really good exercise it's a strong exercise and again
you need to get used to doing it you need to learn how to do it first
now when you do first do this exercise you need to angle your arms in a way that it contracts the
tricep because if you have it around on an on a different angle you'll start contracting the
bicep again so be aware of of the angle that your arm is laying on when you're on the bed
and be very aware of your triceps. Now here's a schematic of your triceps I want you to do is
have in your mind the focus of that muscle. As we know with everything else on our body and our face
other muscles move while you're exercising you can't just move one muscle but you can
when you activate your mind body connection you can just focus on that one muscle
and start working and exercising that muscle. Don't worry about anything else that's moving
or moving around that muscle just focus wholly on that muscle and you'll be amazed at your results.
So keep practicing keep doing what you're doing and I would love to hear

doing with this exercise. If you've got any questions just pop them in the comment box
