5 Tips For Tight Arms

Sport should be combined with a balanced diet and massage to improve the results. Perseverance is also required!

For many, the arms are one of the problem areas on the body. This is where fat often accumulates and the skin of the upper arms hangs down limply. Many women therefore even do without short-sleeved tops in summer.

The problem becomes particularly apparent from the age of 30, when muscle mass decreases and fat tissue increases due to metabolic changes.

This purely aesthetic problem is not easy to solve. You need perseverance and willpower  to strengthen and tone your  arms .

You will then find various tips to help you achieve your goal.

Fat burning

In order to avoid localized fat accumulation, the whole body has to be activated. There is no specific area where you can lose fat, so you need methods to reduce your calorie intake without harming your health.

Cardiovascular training and a balanced diet are very important. 

You should avoid miracle diets, because they often lead to a nutritional deficiency, the dreaded yo-yo effect and the loss of muscle mass.

Try to eat fewer calories with each meal and try to control your servings.

2. Increase in energy burn

Daily exercise is the healthiest way to burn calories. Exercise consumes energy,  lowers cholesterol and regulates blood pressure. 

Dedicate at least 20 minutes of exercise, at least 4 times a week.

If you don’t have a lot of time, you can take a quick step or ride a bike. An exercise bike can also be very useful for this.

3. Watch your diet

You should avoid the following foods as much as possible:

• Refined sugar
• Flour
• alcohol
• Soft drinks
• Fast food
• Sausages

Not only do these foods promote fat storage, they also slow your metabolism and lead to fluid retention and inflammation.

Instead, the intake of useful proteins should be increased:

• fish
• chicken breast
• turkey
• legumes
• cheese
• Eggs

Don’t forget fresh fruit and vegetables, plenty of water or healthy drinks!

4. Exercise to tighten the arms

With a daily exercise routine, you can strengthen your arms and reduce slackness. Train all body zones, even if you also include specific exercises for the arms.

Chest bends work your chest, but they also help strengthen your triceps.

Squats with weights or cardiovascular training with dumbbells are also recommended.

It is definitely important to introduce training gradually, especially if you are not used to it. Overexertion can lead to unwanted injuries.

5. Skin care

Cold water showers and body massages with a firming lotion are excellent ways to revitalize the skin on the arms.

This can stimulate blood circulation and provide the skin with more oxygen and nutrients for cell activity.

A 15-20 minute massage with oil or a moisturizer stimulates the lymphatic system, promotes detoxification and reduces cellulite.
