Tips to lose upper arm fat

Kristina, on July 17, 2016 at 1:35 PM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 12

I absolute hate my arms and I've gotten a strapless dress. I still have 8 months so I was wondering if anyone has any advice on exercises to help with upper arm fat. Thanks in advance

    Cardio and healthy eating to lose fat. Weights to tone.

    I love and swear by the chick who does you tube videos. Search batwing. When I do the quick workout everyday I can tell major differences.

    Just remember that you can't lose fat only in specific areas - it comes off from your entire body. You may have to have your dress altered more if you lose enough. Arm exercises will help to tone your arms, and make them look less "flabby" but will not shrink those areas specifically.

    You can't pick and choose where the fat will come off of your body. You can tone your arms by working those muscle groups. Lift weights, do push ups, etc.

    Even at my thinnest, my arms are still heavier than they should be. My mom is the same way. It sucks that we can't always pick where we lose it. I feel more comfortable when my arms are tan. I'll be rocking my strapless dress in 6 days. I did lots of arm reps, but my arms are still bigger than I'd like them to be. I think that we're usually our own worst critics. I'm sure you'll be beautiful in your dress and I hope you'll forget all about your arms. Smiley smile

    Lifting weights (as heavy as I can) has defined my arms a lot (but not made them bulky-that's a common misconception). My arms were also very tone when I was doing vinyasa yoga regularly.

    You cannot spot reduce.

    Best option us eat well. Monitor your calories and get on a well rounded workout program. Which would include cardiovascular work and progressive weight training.

    If you gave access to a gym, look up starting strength, strong lifts, strong curves or new rules of lifting.

    If you do not have a gym, body by you, you are your own gym or convict conditioning.

    I agree you can't spot reduce however you can tone and sculpt your arms. To see the best results lift heavy for less reps. 90% of the max weight you can lift. The thought that you will get bulky is out dated. The women that get huge bulky muscles are often on steroids. Women just don't put on mass like men do.

    I'm in the same boat as you! These are all good tips. I'm really liking the Blogilates series. Lots of good arm workouts, among others. And very inspirational.
