Triceps are important to keep toned for your wedding day! So pick up those weights, grab a chair, and get ready to get those jiggle-free ?arms!

Tips:

1. Always remember to consult a physician prior to starting an exercise program.
2. Pick a weight that you can do 15 reps and that you feel the exercise by the 10th repetition.
3. For each exercise perform 2 sets of 15 repetitions with a 10 second break between the two sets.
4. Never do the same muscle group two days in a row? so if you give these exercises a try on Monday, give your shoulders a rest on Tuesday but get right back on for Wednesday.
5. If something does not feel right, STOP the exercise.

First exercise: Triceps Over the Head Press

Stand: legs shoulder width apart, abs tight with both weights or 1 weight in your hand. Bring your arms behind your head, with elbows close to your head.

Second exercise: Dips on a STABLE chair

Sit: Sit on a STABLE chair or couch. Grasp a hold of the edge of the couch or chair, push your butt off the chair, and hold your body up with your arm strength. Keep your butt close to the couch or chair. If you are a beginner you may want to keep your knees bent, otherwise keep your legs straight and heels down and toes up.

Action: Bend your elbows to no further than 90 degrees, keep your shoulders down, and keep your butt close to the chair or couch. Return to straight arms. Continue down and up until your set is complete.
