Is there anyway to target slimming in your arms?

Question

No matter how much I exercise and diet, nor how good the rest of my body is, I just realized that my arms have always been proportionetly larger and fattier then anything else.

I have a 36 1/2" wasit, and less then 24" thighs, they might be bigger, but they're fatty. My arms however, at thier largest point measue about 13". And I've had that fat hang under them for as long as I can remember.

I run and lift wieghts regularly, ubt my srms just seem to get bigger! (prolly cause I build muscle under the fat) I thought I knew how to tone and exercise properly, but I guess not.

Is there like, arm-specific cardio I can do? I weigh about 135 pounds, and I'm not interested in losing weight anywhere else. I fear more strentgh exercises will only make my arms bigger! Help!

Answer 1

You've asked an excellent question.

Lifting weights will definitely build muscle. With the 'fat hang' that you describe you would benefit from triceps training.

I was amazed at the results I achieved by doing tricep extensions and at my age (I'm closer to 60 than I am to 50) I was told it was too late to add muscle in that area.

I'm including a link here for some great tricep exercises.

My suggestion is that you only lift weights for your biceps twice per week, or decrease the amount of weight you're lifting for your biceps curls. That will decrease the size of that muscle in about two weeks.

If you focus on your triceps and deltoids, the shape of your arms should improve dramatically.

Your sister would desire to objective to lose 2lb a week. There rather isn't a rapid weightloss technique that works. the only way of dropping weight healthily and preserving weight is thru workout and ingesting much less and extra wholesome ingredients. Your sister can do it she purely desires to be desperate and function some will capability :)

Answer 3

you might try doing non-weight bearing isometric lifting, which amounts to the same movements you would be doing while lifting weights (bench, curls, etc.) but w/o any weights, try doing them in sets of 100. Iknow that sounds like a lot but it really isn't you'll breeze through most of them before you realize you're actually getting a work out.
