Wave Goodbye to Arm Flab
Firm up jiggly arms by targeting the biceps and triceps.
Do you avoid sleeveless tops? Have you toned down your goodbyes so that you don’t wave with too much enthusiasm? For many women, the upper arm is high on their list of flab-prone body parts.
But the upper arms are easy to improve, and you can firm up with a few easy moves.
The main muscles that give arms their shape are the biceps and triceps. Doing resistance exercises to target these muscles can help build more muscle, which will give the arms tone and definition.
Although weak muscles contribute to flab, so does excess fat. Some women are more prone to storing fat in their upper arms. And that means that, even if you strengthen your arms, they may still appear mushy if you don’t trim down the fat as well. So, in addition to strengthening your muscles, a key plan of attack is to decrease body fat. And the recipe for reducing fat all over—including in your arms—is to include more cardio into your workouts and to cut back on overeating, as well.
This workout is designed to blast your biceps and triceps in a variety of ways. Get ready to carve some curves and start wearing whatever tops you want. Read more

It’s a double-dip disaster: More meals out, more calories consumed, more trouble from expanding waistlines. Read more
