Finding the top-tier arm toning exercises can be virtually impossible because of all the contradictory information out there. There is so much information that deciding on what to act on could give you a mental hernia.

There is simply an overabundance of subjective opinions on what works and what doesn't for arm toning. Some opinions even put you at risk for injury.

So how do you decide on all the different information out there? Well, for the average woman it's nearly impossible. If the experts can't agree, how are you supposed to?

Well, luckily for you, I've decided to tackle this issue head on by creating the most massive review of arm toning exercises for women. So without further delay, here is today's review of hammer curls:

1. Snap-shot. An often overlooked exercise, hammer curls, work the outside part of your biceps. Most importantly, however, they really work your forearms.

2. Technique snap-shot. Grab a dumbbell with each hand, stand upright and keep your palms facing your torso. Then, raise both dumbbells while keeping your palms facing your torso. Lower the dumbbells and repeat.

3. Mistakes with highest frequency. Letting the palms slightly rotate upwards. And allowing the back to round out which puts strain on the spine.

4. Bottom line. This is a great exercise if you want to work your forearms. But for the flabby, upper portion of your arm this is not your best choice. I don't recommend doing this exercise unless you have weak wrists.

After reading some of my reviews, you'll get a better idea as to what arm toning exercises are worth doing. So make sure you don't miss my next one!
