How to lose fat from flabby arms
If we want to lose that extra fat stored in our arms, we must lose weight and perform specific exercises designed to target our arm muscles. And, best of all, you don’t need to join a gym: we can do it all at home with a series of recommended exercises.
1. Arm rotations
This fantastic exercise for eliminating sagging skin involves making arm circles while standing. It’s a very simple exercise that involves placing your arms horizontally, without bending your elbows, and drawing circles between them. You’ll make circles with very small amplitude to achieve many repetitions in a short amount of time. Then, repeat the exercise, but in reverse.
Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions.
2. Arm scissors

Stand with your legs wide apart. Bring your arms out to the sides and forward. Then, one arm should overlap the other, resembling the letter X. Return your arms to their original position and repeat this 20 times. Relax with your arms down for 15 seconds.
Do 3 sets of 20 reps.
3. Up and down

Stand up and raise your arms up, bending your elbows so they’re behind your head. Place your palms together. Then, move your palms down, then raise them to the height of the middle of your head.
Repeat this exercise 20 times at a brisk pace. Then lower your arms and relax for 15 seconds.
4. Knee bends
In a plank position on the floor, stretch your legs so you’re resting only on the balls of your feet and the soles of your hands. Lower yourself with a controlled movement until your chest almost touches the floor. Return to the starting position. If it’s too heavy, lower your knees and repeat the same movement.
Do 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
5. Elbow push and stretch

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Extend your arms at your sides, parallel to the floor. Make fists. Bend your elbows so your fists are at armpit level. Return your arms to their original position.
Repeat this 20 times. Then, relax with your arms down for 15 seconds.
6. Triceps curl
For this exercise, also known as triceps dips, you only need a chair, a bench, a couch, or a step, and you’re ready to go. It’s actually better for your triceps if you use a combination of objects to vary the range of motion and feel the burn. Make sure to keep your butt and lower back close to the chair (or whatever object you’re using) to maximize the benefits of this exercise.
Do this exercise for 2 sets of 10 repetitions.
7. Plank push-up
Finally, the last exercise to eliminate arm fat is a little simpler than the previous ones, but even more effective. It involves getting up and down in planks: we lie on the floor with our hands and the balls of our feet on the mat. From there, we move into the plank position on our elbows, and then return to the original position.
Perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
With these exercises, you’ll forget about those flabby arms and look amazing. For even more effective results, do this routine daily. Remember, the key to success is consistency.
