Toning Up Your Loose Flabby Arms

By Westy

As we age, many people are stricken with loose and flabby skin under their arms. Many people are looking to lose some weight in that area to give them back the toned muscle that they once had, but there is no way to target a weight loss in just that area. It seems as though the problem is more common in women, but there are men who suffer from the same problem. The question becomes, how do you get rid of loose flabby arms.

Secret Key

When the body is aging, there is a loss of collagen and elastin and some people just have a greater amount of fat in that area of their body. There are some things that can be done to help you in this area.

First of all, it is the hardest part of the body to get rid of fat. The upper arm loose weight is impossible to target just losing weight. There are gels and cremes that claim they can tone the under arm and get rid of loose flabby loose weight build muscle arms. The jury is still out on the success rate of cremes and gels over the counter. There is a new chemical called Lipodisolve. There have not been enough trials done to prove its efficacy

Surgery is one option for some people. The procedure is called an arm lift or brachioplasty and it will involve removing the fat and tissue from the area. It is performed under general anesthesia and will take you anywhere between two and six weeks to recover.

Liposuction is another, a little less invasive surgical procedure to take the fat out of your under arm. Many times they do a combination surgery with the brachioplasty and liposuction. After surgery you will have pain and be given medication. You will probably be out of the work force for at least a week.

One of the least invasive ways to eliminate the problem of flabby arms is building muscle in this area. There are a number of exercises that you can use that will help you recover some of the tone and muscle in the under arm area.

A push up is the most common exercise that you can use for this part of your body. You can choose to do a regular push up or a wall push up that will tone the muscles under the arms.

Dips may be another good exercise that will work on this part of your body. You sit on a chair or bench and lift yourself off of the chair with your arms and dip below the chair and then back up again. If you work with these exercises, you might find that you are able to build the muscle under your arms in no time at all.
