Under Arm Exercises



Recommended Posts

I had the best arms of my life back when I was tossing hay bales up onto a wagon. so, getting a hay bale would be pretty cheap, but you've gotta toss it a lot, and then toss it back down at 5 am and 5 pm. works your core too.

I learned to drive a tractor so I could stop tossing up the hay bales - although it didn't get me out of the daily toss down year round.

Hand weights- I'm going to try and describe this-

Stand over something - maybe a desk, or countertop- and plant one hand firmly on the surface.

Take the weight in your other hand, and begin with your arm bent 90degrees, and now extend it back behind you.

Alternate to other arm.

Another one is to use hand weights with your arms down at your side, and extend them out away from your body- so you will be palms facing your legs, and then lifting the arms away from you to the side, so that your arm is even with your shoulder.

Those are two- is suggest a good Google search- or if you go to the gym- ask a trainer.

Resistance bands are awesome too!!!

As an aside, I do these exercises not only at the gym, but home, too. An ever-present need to prevent arm flab. Hell. Women have been using Soup cans for these exercises for years!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
