Why in the hell does my arms jiggle when I wave good bye?
Look, don't start with your fat. I weigh 123lbs, and work my arms out twice a week. When I straighten my arms, I'm quit impressed but the minute I make the L shape with my arms, the flab falls out of no-where.

How in the hell do you tighten this area?
                     




dr.dunn
its pretty common for that to happen.
its probably your skin if your not fat.
if you work out ask who ever your working out with.

the upper arm can be tough for a woman to tone, our muscles aren't as responsive as men's are. There are several exercises to tone that area, rather difficult to describe.....

I have no idea but it's a great question and I'm dying to hear a good answer for it! You get the 'best question' award for tonight!


pablo_asawa
don't be offended but you are getting older..my wife is 55 and she noticed this and she work out three times a week and swims and gardens..so it is age..i don't think you can get a plastic surgeon to touch this area?

the best toning for your arms i have ever found is through David Kirsch...you can get his Ultimate New York Body Plan DVD...its all about shadowboxing with 3lb dumbells-crossover, hook, and uppercut 20 reps each or more then right into pushups then right into tricep extensions..bicep curls, and overhead shoulder presses then go into a plank position


Sabrina
Try working them out 3-4 times a week. Do little arm circles. Those help a lot by toning your arms.


The PENsive Insomniac
Have you lost weight? That may be part of the reason. If you can afford it, you could have surgery to tighten it up. That may be pretty expensive.

Build up a little muscle tone.

ten minutes a day with some five pound weights.

slow curls.

work up from there.

Well first of all, twice a week is not enough. You should be doing weight training at least 3-4 times a week. Also try using heavier weights. Another thing to think about is that a lot of women have those "chicken wings" no matter how much we work out and weight train!

Get your % of body fat measured through either a skin fold test or by electroimpediance at the gym


kinkysexy
the flab is fat stored in the back of the tricep. to fix this, you use straight or curved bar on a tricep pull down machine. grip it underhand like you are going to do a bicep curl. pull down, repeat. you should feel the burn right where you are describing. i recommend starting with 40lbs, because it hurts like hell the next day if you use too much weight. Do not use the upside down V bar that you would use for overhand triceps - its not friendly to he wrist. good luck!
incidentally - that's how those powerlifters have those horseshoe looking triceps - there's three muscle groups to workout.

Gravity, plain and simple.

You may not be fat but you have NO muscle tone. Get off of the computer and exercise.

Try the Slim in Six video. Great exercise routine using flex bands. You can get it from beachbody.com


Yes I am here!!
do reverse curls. take the bar and hold your arms up and go down slowly behind your head and back up. do them as slow as you can with as much weight as you can stand.

theres skin and fat that you're supposed to have to keep you healthy too

lift weights or do pushups. u may not be fat but ur arms are.

First off, how old are you? Your age will have a factor not just your weight. You can work on your triceps a little more than normal to firm up that area. Try tricep extensions, tricep kickbacks, skullcrushers, etc.

Here's some sites to check out:

You'll need to work them arms more than twice a week. Try every other day.

Do arm curls with free weights or rubber bands or whatever you can get your hands on. And workout the triceps. Those seem to be the muscles you seem to really want to target.

Push-ups work well too. Do a few sets of those. Set number is determined by how good of shape you are in now. If you can do 15 reps without a problem, then make it 20 and do three sets of 20 push-ups in your routine and build from there.

Jogging or any kind of cardio workout can help burn fat in the overall body scheme. That'll help tone things for ya.

If you still can't get the jiggle to go away, well, I guess you can look forward to hollering out BINGO!!!!!!

Also, you could find another way to wave good bye.

Take care

i dont know. maybe theres alittle extra fat.

your perfect don't even worry.

aslong as it doesnt jiggle when you flex, nothing to worry about.

not gonna lie- when i read the title i laughed.
i think everybody has that, no matter how in shape they are.
well, unless you're like a body builder or something.
but this one time i was at a football game. and the guy next to me was cheering and the same thing happened with his arms. and he was in pretty damn good shape. that's when i realized that there isn't really anything we can do about it.

ADIPOSE TISSUE. its natural. it stores energy, it protects muscles and organs.

its prly just skin...but if you want to tone it more do pushups and bicept curls

Have you tried Triceps pull downs at the gym. I do those and L raises. If your unfamiliar with these moves I'm sure any of the gym staff could assist you.
