How do you get rid of the under arm flab. Recently lost weight, but the under arms have a little flab left?

Question

I recently lost 35 lbs by diet and exercise. But my under arms have a little flab hanging and I don't know what exercises to do to get rid of the extra skin. Also my thighs need to be tightened as well. Looked on the internet but no sites had any answers.

Answer 1

To get rid of under arm flab, start doinf tricept excersizes. It will tighten your arms up in no time!

Answer 2

Try the following : do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. The 45 minute thing is not true, but don't over 60 minutes at a time.

Do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.

The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!

Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

Read fitness magazines, like Shape and Fitness for motivation and tips.

Good luck and stick at it.

Wow, that's fantastic; congratulations! To help get rid the arm floppiness, you could try doing triceps exercises. Here's a site that explains them pretty well: http://www.questformuscle.com/exercisephotostricep.html.

Walking up stairs more frequently or using a Stairmaster (as beastly as it feels) is also a great way to tone up thighs.

Good luck!
