Flabby Grandma Arms Be Gone: Exercises to Get Rid of Arm Fat

Let’s get toned this season, starting with our flabby grandma arms.

Let’s be honest — we all hate arm fat. No one likes to see their flabby grandma arms jiggle every time they move. The good news is that you can take charge of toning up your arms! Once your diet is in check, you need to move on to exercises. Here are some easy ones you can try out at home.

Let’s get physical!

Bicep curls

Biceps curls are one of the most efficient toning workouts you can perform with just a few dumbbells. They are performed as follows:

• Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing up, with your arms at your sides or resting in front of your thighs.
• Raise the dumbbells slowly toward your chest, keeping your elbows tight to your sides and shoulders down.
• At the apex of the exercise, squeeze your arms, then gently descend the dumbbells to accomplish one rep. Repeat 12-15 times.

Tricep dips

Don’t have any free weights? No problem! All you need is a chair or bench to do this next exercise. Here’s how you can do tricep dips at home:

• Place your arms behind you, or at the edge of the seat, and sit at the edge of the chair/bench. Check that the space between your arms is shoulder-width apart.
• Sit at the very edge of the seat, with your legs extended out in front of you, and your back straight.
• Bend your elbows to 90 degrees, and carefully descend your lower body off the seat and onto the ground.
• Maintain this position for a few seconds.
• Straighten your arms and thrust your body up once again (do not sit on the chair yet).
• Do three sets of 20 repetitions every day to effectively reduce arm fat.

Overhead shoulder presses

To effectively tone your arms, your workout should involve multi-joint activities that stimulate major muscles while also increasing caloric burn. This involves dumbbell overhead shoulder presses.

• Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing in, slightly above the shoulders.
• Extend your arms over your head.
• As you return to the beginning posture, bend your elbows. Repeat 6-8 times more.

Pull-ups

Try mastering pull-ups, another multi-joint motion, when you're feeling stronger. Pull-up technique:

• Grip a pull-up bar with your hands facing away from you and your arms outstretched.
• Maintain a strong core while using your back and lats to raise yourself until your chin is over the bar.
• Finally, lower yourself back to your starting position. Repeat 10 times more.
