Wave Goodbye to Flabby Arms
A Fun Formula for Leaner Limbs
Are you ready to wave goodbye to stubborn flabby arms? Your metabolism slows down as you age, making it harder to keep muscles in shape, but toning and strengthening your arms helps with everyday tasks and can boost your confidence and well-being. With the right moves, properly sized weights, and a solid workout plan, you can see real changes in how your arms look and feel. Get ready to flex your way to fitness with these tips for leaner limbs. START LIGHT, LIFT RIGHT Adding arm workouts to your workout, such as lifting light weights, will help build muscle and reduce overall body fat, leading to a more toned and defined appearance. But you could do more harm than good if you choose dumbbells that are too heavy for you. The right size depends on your upper-body strength, but if you are unsure or a beginner, grab the lowest weights available and work your way up. A set
of 4-pound weights is a great place to start for bicep curls or shoulder exercises. DANCE, DIP, REPEAT Losing overall body weight will ultimately help you slim down your arms, so it’s essential to include a variety of exercises in your routine. Along with weighted moves, like lateral raises and triceps extensions, incorporate regular cardio into your week. Activities like biking, running, dancing, and swimming help elevate the heart rate to burn calories. Aim for at least 150–300 minutes of moderate intensity exercise weekly. If you work on your arms at least three days a week, giving yourself 1–2 rest days between each, you can see results in just six weeks. FEED YOUR MUSCLES Your health is multifaceted, and along with exercise, you should eat a healthy diet, stay hydrated, and get the proper amount of sleep.
Drinking enough water can help you feel full longer, aiding in weight loss. Adding more fiber and protein to your diet can also keep your appetite under control and encourage muscle mass to stick around. Though you can’t just snooze your way to slim arms, getting a full night of sleep is vital in regulating your appetite and supporting weight loss.
