5 exercises which will help you get rid of your flabby arms
No
matter how much your exercise, flabby arms are just too hard to get rid
of. They not only look bad but also deteriorates your confidence.
Wearing sleeveless clothes could be challenge and the flab on your arms
could affect your body image negatively. Flabby arms usually happen
either due to excess fat deposition or the reduction in elasticity of
your skin. Here are a few exercises which will help you tone your arms
and get rid of the flab:
Standing arm circles
For
this exercise, extend your arms on both sides and stand straight on the
ground. Now rotate your arms without bending your elbows and take a
step back backwards. Alternate your legs and keep taking a step forward
and then backwards. Make sure that your steps and arm circles are
simultaneous. Repeat the exercise for 30 seconds.
Triceps dips
A
very effective exercise to target your arm fat is triceps dips. You can
either do it on your yoga mat or use a chair for the dips. Just sit on
the mat with your arms behind your mat and palms on the mat. Make sure
your fingers are facing backwards and knees are bent. Now with the help
of your arms lift yourself from the floor and then back down. Repeat
this up and down motion for a total of 30 seconds. Make sure your
buttocks don’t touch the ground during the exercise.
Knee push ups
For
this exercise, position yourself in a push up position with your palms
on the mat and legs backwards. Now place your knees on the mat and cross
your legs behind. Now use your arms to do a push up and make sure your
feet do not touch the ground. These high intensity push-ups will make
your arm fat melt in no time.
Plank slaps
Position
your body in a plank position by placing your palms on the mat and toes
on the ground backwards. Make sure your body is in a curved position,
with all fours on the mat. Now use your left hand to touch your upper
arm and vice-versa. Continue this exercise for 30 seconds.
Up up down down
A
rather easy yet effective exercise to do, up up down down will help you
in exactly targeting your flabby arms. For this exercise, place your
elbows on the ground and legs backwards. Make sure your toes are on the
ground and knees are not touching the ground. Now get up from the ground
and place your palms on the ground, using your left arm and then the
right arm. After getting in a plank position, get back to the original
position. Keep repeating this for 30-40 seconds for an effective set.
