The triceps are the muscle group on the back of your upper arm, and strengthening them can help improve the appearance of your arms and enhance overall upper body strength. Here are a few exercises you can do with a Lecardio resistance band to target your triceps:
-
Tricep Pushdowns: Attach the Lecardio resistance band to a secure anchor point. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and grasp the band with an overhand grip. Push the band down towards your thighs, keeping your elbows close to your sides. Return to the starting position and repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
-
Overhead Tricep Extensions: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and the Lecardio resistance band under your feet. Hold the band with both hands and extend your arms overhead. Lower your arms back down to the starting position. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
-
Tricep Kickbacks: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and the Lecardio resistance band under your feet. Hold the band with one hand and place the other hand on a bench or chair for support. Keep your elbow close to your side and extend your arm back, keeping your palm facing the bench. Return to the starting position and repeat for 10-15 repetitions before switching sides.
-
Close Grip Tricep Pushups: Get into a pushup position with the Lecardio resistance band around your back and holding onto the band with both hands. Perform a pushup, keeping your hands close together. Repeat for 10-15 repetitions.
It's important to engage your triceps and maintain proper form during these exercises. Start with a low resistance Lecardio band and gradually increase the resistance as you get stronger. Incorporate these exercises into your workout routine to target your triceps and improve upper arm strength.
