Gauahar Khan has been working hard on her fitness postpartum. And the dedication clearly shows in her glimpses from her workouts in the gym or at home. Taking us by surprise, Gauahar was seen performing tricep muscle exercises considered effective for toning the arms like a pro.
“Four months postpartum,” shared Gauahar in an Instagram Stories, adding that despite a “red-eye flight to Dubai”, she didn’t give up on her progress and turned up to work out. “Not leaving my progress even after a red-eye flight to Dubai,” she mentioned and tagged her fitness trainer.

She can be seen performing triceps kickbacks.
“The weight gained during pregnancy definitely shows up on the arms in women. So triceps kickback is a great exercise for toning the arms and strengthening them. They also help you to lift heavy objects. So women will be able to carry the baby in her arms for longer duration with the help of this exercise,” said fitness expert Garima Goyal.
While performing triceps kickbacks, triceps strength is increased, giving stability to the shoulders as well as arms. This also increases flexibility and mobility of joints, added Goyal.
The expert shared that working out to strengthen arms makes it easy to lift heavy objects or improves posture, thus alleviating back pain. “This exercise may look simple but it engages the core very well and thus aids in improving the body’s posture,” mentioned Goyal.
