Loose Flabby Arms

By Westy

When you get a little older or if you were genetically predisposed, your under arm area becomes less toned. Can you loose weight build muscle in that area? No you cannot target that are for weight loss but there are things you can try. This problem may be more applicable to women. Ever seen a man wave a flabby arm? How can you get rid of loose weight build muscle of upper arms?

Secret Key

The collagen and elastin that we once had in youth will begin to disappear as we get older. And then some people are just heavier in that part of their body than others. There are a few options for you if you have this problem in your arms.

This part of the body is not the easiest to lose weight in so you should recognize this problem before you get started. You also will not be able to target this specific area of your body for weight loss. There have been some gels and creams that have come on the market that are designed specifically to reduce the fat in this area. However, there is still not enough information on whether these products actually work.

One extreme option is surgery. The particular procedure is called a brachioplasty or arm lift. It is a same day surgery and it is done under general anesthesia. You will have stitches or a drain that come out the first week. It takes two to six weeks to recover and you will have a scar on the underside of your arm. You wear compression stockings on your arms for a while so you do not get any blood clots.

Liposuction is another, a little less invasive surgical procedure to take the fat out of your under arm. Many times they do a combination surgery with the brachioplasty and liposuction. After surgery you will have pain and be given medication. You will probably be out of the work force for at least a week.

The most sensible and safest way to get rid of that loose weight under your arm is to try and build muscle there. There are a some exercises that you can do at home or at the gym

A push up is the most common exercise that you can use for this part of your body. You can choose to do a regular push up or a wall push up that will tone the muscles under the arms.

Dips may be another good exercise that will work on this part of your body. You sit on a chair or bench and lift yourself off of the chair with your arms and dip below the chair and then back up again. If you work with these exercises, you might find that you are able to build the muscle under your arms in no time at all. - 17273
