So.

Does your arm wiggle long after you’ve stopped waving goodbye to someone? Does the slightest wind make them flap like sails on a boat? Do you have excess flesh in your arms to mold into roughly the same size of a newborn baby?

Flabby arms have become, and pardon my term here—the “butt” of jokes simply because they look so out of place on someone’s body. Even in the most sedentary lifestyles, arms still have their share of workload and must therefore be more toned in comparison to the rest of one’s bod such as, and just to cite randomly here, the legs or abdomen. Everyday we carry things, push doors, lug around bags, exert some effort to our biceps, etc. So a lot of us might find those flabs’ appreance a tad bit unfair.

The answer is embarking on specific toning exercises to really get rid of those fleshy wings. You can either ask your gym instructor to focus on strengthening and toning your arms, or you can do some simple exercises yourself at home if you don’t have a gym membership. If you find that your triceps need extra work (i.e. the part that wiggles most when you wave your arms), do some push-ups. At the same time, you’ll also be working out your chest and shoulder areas, creating a streamlined look in your whole upper torso. For starters, you can go easy and do wall push-ups by placing your hands on a wall and pushing your upper body away from it. You can repeat this fifteen times in a set, and do a number of sets you’re initially comfy with. Once you find your strength increasing, you can graduate on to traditional horizontal push-ups on the floor.

Here’s another DIY (do-it-yourself) tip that could work with what you have at home. Get a couple of 32 oz. bottles, fill them up with water, and grasp one each with your hands. With your belly tucked and your back straightened, bend your knees slightly while keeping your elbows close to your sides, and raise and lower the bottles in a smooth pace. Don’t try to do this modified bicep curls routine quickly for fear of muscle injury or stressing your joints.

Or you can always participate in sports that require a lot of arm work, such as tennis, badminton, rowing, or even boxing!
