If your goal is to achieve stronger triceps, incorporating specific triceps exercises into your routine can be the best thing to do.

The triceps have different heads, namely the lateral head, long head and medial head. All three heads contract during arm exercises. There are specific workouts that target these muscles individually.

The best way to develop a toned and stronger upper arm is to include exercises that target all these muscles from every angle. For most women, the tricep area is also prone to fat accumulation. Fortunately, with regular triceps exercises, arm fat can be reduced easily.

Here's a look at five beginner-level exercises for women to get well-toned triceps:

This exercise is quite simple yet very effective. You can use a resistance band or dumbbells to perform this workout.

The triceps push-up is a classic all-around exercise that not only works your arms but also strengthens your core, back, biceps and glutes all at once.

The stable posture in this exercise will allow you to challenge your triceps even more as compared to other exercises.

This exercise targets your forearm muscles, back, shoulders, hamstrings and glutes and can produce amazing results if you do it regularly.

The triceps kickback is a bilateral exercise that targets the lateral and medial heads of the triceps. It also activates and challenges your entire core muscle.

The exercises mentioned above are easy to perform and suitable for women of all fitness levels.

Performing these exercises regularly will not only help tone your triceps but also strengthen other muscles too, including your shoulders, biceps, back, hamstrings, quads, chest and glutes. That will help develop strength, improve flexibility and posture, and protect your upper body against injuries.

If you're a beginner, make sure to start with light dumbbells, and go slow. Do not overtrain your muscles; rather focus more on improving your form. Over time, as you gain strength, increase your exercise intensity, and work your way up to more advanced exercises and heavy weights.
