If you are uncomfortable with carrying all of that weight on your arms, I can understand. I use to stand in the mirror and just wriggle my arms to watch the fat jiggle underneath and wonder if I could smack someone in the head with it if I were sitting to close to them when raising my arms. It’s funny and crazy, but that‘s what I thought! If you are worried about your body image, the best thing to do is to do something about it instead of walking around complaining about it. So I did, I did something about it.
Dancing is a good form of toning your body. When you dance you move your whole body which allows you to boost your metabolism and burn more calories. Dancing moves like doing the twist, salsa and hip shaking dances are a very high calorie burning routine. You can burn more calories dancing than walking.
Using light weights are good too. You always want to start off light when it comes to shaping up. Over doing it can cause injuries. Start off with 5 or 8 pound dumbbells. Arm curls are one of the easiest methods to start off with. If you don’t have any use two gallons of water or laundry detergent bottles.
Wall push-ups are very effective; they are much easier to do than floor push-ups. Stand towards the wall put both of your hands on the wall. Make sure your feet are shoulder length apart. Gently push yourself off the wall arm length. Then lean back towards the wall. Keep doing this until you at least do 10-25 arm reps. Start slow and work your way up. This position also helps tone your shoulders as well.
Walking not only works with your hips, butt and legs, but it is also a good way to burn unwanted fat off of those arms and stomach. If you wear an arm belt which can help you sweat more and burn more calories you can lose your arm fat pretty fast.
Jumping jacks are one of the best ways because you are constantly moving your arms back and forth over your head. You are for sure to burn some of that arm flab off by doing these. Also one more thing Eating right and taking the right supplement contributes a great deal to your health. Taking vitamins will give you the nutrition you are missing and increase your energy, metabolism and give you ultimate health.
