Use The Total Gym Dip Bar To Optimize Your Arm Muscles

Does the flab on your arms keep waving after you’re done saying goodbye? Ever wonder what to do to get rid of arm fat? Total Gym arm workouts can help!

Although it’s impossible to reduce fat only in a targeted area, there are isolation exercises that can increase strength and tone of those muscles. For the shoulders and arms, dips work the triceps on the back of the upper arm, the anterior deltoid on the front of the shoulder and the pectoralis muscles on the chest. The rhomboids and lats, and some traps in the back are also activated during this Total Gym upper body workout.
