Help For My Arms

[mayday79 0]

I am 11 months out of surgery and down 124 lbs. I've been exercising and joined a soccer team but my arms are a mess. I don't feel like I can wear tee shirts. I still have 50 lbs to lose so surgery is not an option. The summer is coming and I'm in a wedding in October. Does anyone have good arm toning exercises with good results?

There are a lot of threads around here on this topic. Someone recommended body brushing (google it for info); strength training can potentially help too if you do lots of tricep extensions, etc. There's not really any miracle cure unfortunately.

Have you tried doing arm circles? Its just sticking your arms straight out on your sides with your fingers pointed out and moving your arms in circles. You can do big circles then small front to back. Maybe doing those a couple times a day would help? Good luck and congrats on the weight loss!

Small weights (3-5 lb) and high reps are working for me. I do lots of biceps and triceps work, plus shoulder raises, wall push-ups, planks, etc. My batwings aren't gone, but I'm seeing the results very quickly from my routine. Use You Tube's search function and look up some of the arm routines on there. I pull a little from almost every video I watch and it's amazing how quickly the arms show results, IMO.

Good luck!
