Workout Questions - Remove Jiggle From Calves and Triceps

Workout Question:
I have been working out with hand weights. I have two body parts that I can not get rid of the jiggle in them. This is my calves and triceps. How long does it take to shape them up and get rid of the jiggle?

Workout Answer:
To really get rid of the "jiggle", you need to reduce your body fat levels. This is done by really tightening up your diet and focusing more effort toward your cardio plan to burn those calories. For the calves, a great overall cardio workout that burns calories and tones up this area is walking. Start out with 1 mile and work your way up to a several miles a day. In terms of your triceps, here are some great strength training exercises to tighten up this area:

• Dumbbell Extensions
  
  
• Standing Single Arm Dumbbell Extensions

Your diet is critical for really losing the extra body fat around these stubborn areas. Focus on getting enough protein throughout the day by choosing lean items like chicken breast, egg whites, turkey breast and fish. Also, make sure to eliminate all empty calories like soda, high sugar fruit juices, candy and fast food. Try and eat several small and nutritious meals throughout the day. By cleaning up your diet, you should see a vast improvement in your physique.

Its also extremely important to keep a diet journal of your nutritional intake. This way you will be able to track where all your calories are coming from and really monitor your intake. You can download our free diet journals here:
