Exercises For Flabby Arms

Some of the best exercises for flabby arms are not going to be done with any 5 pound pink colored dumbbells

. There is no way that if youre using really light weight that you can get rid of that flab behind your arm. In fact, the truth is you cant spot reduce the fat in any area on your body. No matter how many repetitions you do for an exercise on a certain body part, there is just no way will that body part shrink down. You can firm up the area with exercises so the muscle actually hypertrophies and grows larger to an extent (dont worry ladies, you wont turn into the hulk), but other than that if you have a lot of fat covering the area, you wont be able to see everything.

So first thing you need to do is have your diet in order. If your diet is not in order then you just wont see the lean muscle tissue that you have built up and developed. You need to really start cutting out all of those bad carbs from breads and pastas. Also get rid of all the junk food in your house. I always live by this rule that if its in front of me then Im going to eat it, especially If its in the house and its late at night. This happens to everyone and probably yourself. If its in your house then I guarantee you will eat it at some point. It might not be today but it could be tomorrow, or within the next week. So my advice to you is get rid of all the junk food which includes all crackers, pretzels, candy, cake, cookies, ice cream and soda. And like I said before to cut out the bread and pasta, Im even talking about wheat bread and really any type of bread that you might buy. This is because wheat contains gluten and gluten is not good for you. It causes a host of diseases through inflammation which starts off in your gut and can work itself throughout your body. A lot of the reasons why people cant lose those extra couple of pounds are because they are so inflamed inside of their body and gluten from supposedly healthy foods like wheat bread and such is the main culprit.

Be sure to also kick up your protein intake throughout the day. Aim for around 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Protein is very satiating and is 30% more thermogenic than carbs or fats. This means that your body has to burn that many more calories compared to carbs and fats to digest the stuff. It also has less of a chance of being stored as body fat.

Also you should be getting in a decent amount of cardiovascular exercise on your off days. This can come from any source whether that is jogging outside or inside on the treadmill or the elliptical. You can also use the bike if youd like. You can go slowly or fast, it doesnt really matter. However the best type to really burn a lot of calories and lose a lot of fat fast is interval training because it increases your post oxygen consumption and afterburn effect. This just means that because the intensity of the exercise was so much, your metabolism will stay elevated for a long period of time and therefore youll burn a significant amount of calories even after your workout is completed.

Now when it comes to some arm exercises for flabby arms, the first big one that I recommend all women start doing is pushups. There are many reasons for this but one of them being is that most women lack a lot of upper body strength and this is something they need to work on. Plus all those pushups are really going to target the back of your arms helping you to firm up that area. There are numerous ways to do them, but the first way you can do them is with your knees on the ground and your arms right underneath your shoulders. From there just simply lower yourself as low as you can go and press straight up. The next exercise I would recommend is behind the head dumbbell skull crushers.

This exercise might sound scary but its really not. All youre going to do is grab a dumbbell and cup it in both hands. From there raise it over your head until your arms are straight over your head and slowly lower it towards the back of your head. You will be hinging at the elbow. Slowly lower it until you feel the stretch in the back of your arms then press it back up.

Another exercise that I usually dislike, but with a twist and is really great for the back of your arms is the triceps kickback with a resistance band. So hook up the resistance band around an object so its between chest and waist level, from there, grab the knot of the band right below the handle, take a few steps back and bend at the waist with your chest parallel to the floor. Keep your working arm right against your body and your arm 90 degrees. From there press the resistance band backwards so now your entire arm is parallel to the floor, slowly return while only hinging at your elbow.

So as you can see, these exercises are slightly different then what most people will tell you to do in the gym or at your home to lose the flab around your arms. Most people will tell you to do some form of tricep press downs but those dont nearly work the back of your arms the best because of the line of resistance and the cable apparatus. Just make sure to have your diet in order, your cardio plan nailed down pat and you will be just alright.
