Bye Bye Batwings

Ever have the sleeves of your shirt squeeze the life out of your arm because of your sexy arm fat? Well I certainly have! Getting slimmer and stringer arms is really not all that hard but it is not very pleasant.

Push ups? Forget it, not a chance.

My arms have always been the weakest parts of my body. So I decided that I would start out slow and build myself up rather than going hard right away. Letting yourself ease into toning your arms will help you want to stick with it and not get discouraged. I still use the IntervalTimer app but I only have 4 intervals for 1 minute each at 3 sets versus my usual 6.

• Chest presses
• Shoulder presses
• Tricep extensions
• Bent mid row

For all these it is good to have two dumbbells of course. I ended up getting a second when I realized I needed to work out my arms instead of just wishing the fat would disappear. If you only have one and don't want to get a second instead of chest presses just do bicep curls, then just alternate each are after 30 seconds for each exercise. 

Be sure not to push yourself too hard, always remember that if you can't talk while working out you're not helping yourself.
