Exercise 1: Dumbbell Kickbacks
This exercise is a great way to target the triceps and back of the arms. To do a dumbbell kickback, start by standing with your feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Bend your knees slightly and lean forward from the waist, keeping your back straight. Then, extend your arms behind you, with your palms facing each other. From here, contract your triceps and bring your arms up and back, as if you were doing a reverse fly. Repeat this movement for 1-3 sets of 8-12 reps.
Exercise 2: Tricep Dips
Tricep dips are a great exercise for strengthening the triceps and shoulders. To do a tricep dip, start by sitting on the edge of a chair or bench with your hands placed behind you, fingers facing forward. Then, lower your body off the edge of the chair or bench, keeping your back straight and your legs extended. From here, bend your elbows and lower your body towards the floor, until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Then, push back up to the starting position using your triceps. Repeat this movement for 1-3 sets of 8-12 reps.
Exercise 3: Push-ups with a Twist
This exercise is a great way to work your triceps, shoulders, and chest. To do a push-up with a twist, start in a push-up position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your body towards the floor, keeping your back straight. Then, as you push back up to the starting position, rotate your arms to the side, so that your palms face each other. Repeat this movement for 1-3 sets of 8-12 reps.

By incorporating these three easy tricep exercises into your workout routine, you’ll be on your way to saying goodbye to “lunch lady arms” and hello to toned, defined triceps in no time.
