Do you want to have the arms of steel that Queen Letizia boasts at age 51? To do this, you can take note of the arm exercise that tones and hides the so-called “bat wings.”
Letizia once again shows her sculpted arms in a lancer dress: the queen of Spain looks thinner and the fault is her discipline, she gets up at 7 and does not leave the gym for a day
This name describes the skin that glistens on your arms when you raise them to greet them. This occurs due to the accumulation of fat in the triceps area and the decrease in the production of collagen, the protein that gives firmness and elasticity to the skin and maintains muscles.
“The triceps is a muscle located in the posterior region of the arm, which plays an essential role in the mobility and strength of the upper extremity. It is the main extensor of the forearm at the elbow joint and, secondarily, it also participates in the extension and adduction of the shoulder,” explains the Clínica Universidad de Navarra.
What is the exercise for arms that tones the triceps?
Although there are several types of arm exercises, trainer Zeta Méndez refers to a popular and specific movement to give it firmness and it is known as triceps kick.
“It is one of the most versatile and popular exercises to develop and strengthen the triceps muscles of your arms. And this is because it is highly effective and can be done almost anywhere, even in the comfort of your home with a simple dumbbell,” explains the trainer in Mujer Hoy.

How to do the triceps kick
To do this exercise to strengthen your arms and tone your triceps, you must follow the following steps:
- Sitting, standing or leaning, keep your back straight
- Take the dumbbell with the arm to be exercised first
- Keep your elbows close to your body and form a right angle between your forearm and upper arm.
- Extend the arm holding the dumbbell backwards
- Keep your arm in that position for a few seconds before returning to the starting position.
- If you do it standing you can keep your knees semi-flexed and lean your torso forward a little.
If you are a beginner, start with three sets of 10 repetitions alternating each arm and gradually increase.
