D'Sleeved 62 Posted July 9, 2016 Something new I going to tryout... I just installed a app on my phone which is a stop watch. I programmed it to go off every 30 minutes. Once this stop watch goes off I am going to do 40 arm lifts; lifting my arm over my head... hopefully this would help me to lose some of my upper arm fat and toning my upper back at the same time. If I start at 8:00am - 8:00 pm I should have done 960 arm lifts... Have anyone tried something like this before ? And if so did it help? Are do anyone have any suggestion? I have yet to be sleeved yet trying to tone up and continue developing lean muscle???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Are you doing them with weights? I have added muscle to my arms with this routine. I started with 5 lb weights, moved to 10, I am about to move up again. Edited July 9, 2016 by OutsideMatchInside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D'Sleeved 62 Posted July 9, 2016 No I wasn't planning on using weight, but I do need some resistance. Yeah I may add some weight to help with the toning... Thanks for the video! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SakanieCan 0 Posted July 9, 2016 That app sounds like a good idea. It'll keep you on a routine. Good old-fashioned push ups worked for me in the past. I started by doing them against a wall because I wasn't strong enough to do them on the ground. Then after a couple of weeks I graduated to "girl push-ups", then regular ones (which were still super hard, so I mostly the girly ones). You can switch up th position of your arms to target different areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
