This move that makes flabby upper arm skin firm and toned
 
As you age, you lose elasticity.

 

The upper arms tend to accumulate fat easily. This is because they receive less exercise compared to other areas and have poor blood circulation. Especially as you age, collagen in the skin decreases, causing the skin to sag more easily and lose elasticity, making the upper arm fat appear more prominent.

Poor posture can surprisingly be a cause of arm fat. Especially, if you habitually adopt a slouched posture without opening up your chest, it can cause severe tension in your neck and muscles. This, in turn, can hinder blood circulation in the upper body, making it easier for arm fat to accumulate. Additionally, carrying heavy objects with only one arm or habitually carrying a bag on one side can also lead to thicker arms. Furthermore, consuming a lot of pure fat foods such as animal butter, fresh cream, and ice cream can also make arm fat more likely to increase.

Improvement of lifestyle habits and concurrent exercise

 

To lose arm fat, it is good to improve your lifestyle habits and combine them with simple exercises. The following are easy exercises you can do at home.

Crossing both arms and moving them

 

Holding objects of similar weight, such as books or water bottles, in both hands and moving them in a crossing motion is also effective. First, hold water bottles in both hands and extend your arms straight forward. Spread your arms wide, then cross them in an X shape. When the arms cross, alternate raising the right arm and the left arm above the other. During this movement, do not bend your arms; keep them straight throughout. Repeat this movement 15 times per set, for a total of 3 sets. This helps tense the muscles inside and below the arms, preventing sagging of the forearm flesh.

Standing Thread

 

Standing slide is a bodyweight exercise that involves swinging your arms as if riding a sled while standing. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and slightly bending your knees. Then, with your arms extended forward in line, lean your upper body forward while keeping your lower body fixed, and extend both arms backward. Use momentum to swing your arms back to the original position. Repeating this for 15 repetitions in 3 sets helps burn fat on the back of the upper arms and smooth out the arm flab.
