Spot Training Doesn’t Hurt Series: Upper Arm Flab Toning

This is the second part of the Spot Training Series. The first one is on getting rid of double chin.

Arm flab is easy to remove with a few weights, and even easier if you can do weight lifting around the house. Instead of buying dumbbells, get mid-weight books or vases. Stand comfortably, and hold a vase or book on each hand. Stretch out your arms. With palms facing up, curl your arm slowly toward your body, and then back out again. Do this five to ten times while breathing normally.

Now assume the same position, but this time, stretch out your arms with palms facing down. Curl your arms in, bearing the weights and feeling your back arm muscles stretch. Always keep your posture straight during these exercises to avoid back muscle strain. Help this exercise out by walking regularly or doing a few minutes on the treadmill.
