Women have more fat cells then men in the triceps area.
Unfortunately ladies that is why women as they age will have saggy triceps and most men will not. It just happens to be one of the areas on a women that needs a little extra attention.
Use a bench or chair. It will need to be sturdy enough to hold your body weight. Stand in front of the bench, with your back to it.
Place your hands on the bench with your palms down and your knuckles facing forward. Hands should be slightly closer than shoulder width apart. As you are doing this you will bend at the knees and your legs should be at a 90-degree angle.
Lower your body by bending at the elbow. Exhale slowly as you bend. Lower for a count of two. Elbows should not point out away from the body as you lower. Keep them close to your body.
Straighten your arms out. This will push your body back up. Inhale slowly through your nose as you straighten your arm.
Complete 10 to 12 repetitions. This is considered one set. Towards the end of the set it should get difficult to perform the exercise. Perform enough repetitions of the tricep dip to work the muscle to fatigue without causing pain.
Do two to three sets. Rest your triceps for a minute in between sets. Work your triceps two to three times a week, with 48 hours between workouts..
I’ve decided to add a category called “Doctor Oz Tips”.

Quite often you will see people wearing weight lifting belts when performing all of their exercises. This is completely unnecessary and a potentially dangerous habit. When a weightlifting belt is worn, the natural process of the lower back muscles and the various abdominal muscles is decreased.
If these muscles are not permitted to play a supportive role during strength training they will not be able to provide a supportive role if the situation comes up outside the gym, where lifting has to be done and a belt is not at hand. This dependence on a weight lifting belt could increase the possibility of a lower back injury.
When a weight training belt is used properly the lower back and abdominal muscles can receive enough stimulation. Weight belts should not be worn during exercises where the back is not directly affected. A weight belt should only be worn when the weight used exceeds 80% of the maximum amount of weight that you can lift.
The type of weight belt or style that is used should also be taken into consideration. There are basically two classifications of belts a thin belt, which is wider at the back and tapers in the front. The second belt is a thick power lifting belt, which is obviously common among power lifters, is 4 inches wide all the way around. Both types of weight belts have been examined and determined that if the body was long enough to permit proper tightening then the that thick belt was better than the thin belt.
Weight belts can be a very useful tool while strength training, if used properly. However, over dependence on the belts may increase the risk of injury in non training situations.

With flu season just around the corner what better way to help prevent catching it then to understand how the H1N1 flu is spread.
Basically the H1N1 flu virus is contagious and is spread the same way as any regular seasonal influenza. The H1N1 can spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes and their germs enter the nose, eyes, or throat of another person.
H1N1 germs can also be found on hard surfaces like counters and doorknobs, and can be picked up by the touch of the hand and transmitted to the respiratory system when someone touches their mouth or nose. Try to make it a habit of scratching your facial area with your wrist or forearm area if possible.
Lets end a myth right now, you cannot possible catch the H1N1 virus by eating pork or pork products or through blood transfusions.

Below you will read about the benefits of taking a liquid vitamin E supplement and also about the antioxidant properties of Vitamin E. Lets not forget the benefits of vitamin e for skin use or rather vitamin e on the skin use.
If you were to ask the average person, what all of the properties of Vitamin E are, they would probably simply reply, that Vitamin E is really wonderful for the skin. The main reason that we receive this response is because most individuals commonly see Vitamin E within face creams and moisturizers.
In fact, research has shown that all of the benefits of Vitamin E, when they are applied to the skin, are very limited. However, there are actually several advantages of internally taking Vitamin E within supplements, especially within the liquid form. Vitamin E is also considered to be among the top antioxidant vitamins. Vitamin E has the ability to neutralize harmful free radicals within the body which are known to cause serious diseases such as cancer.
