Tone Your Arms With 5 Secret Strategies

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

If you want to tone your arms, starving yourself is out of the question. Not only is this unsustainable, but it also wrecks your body from many different physiological standpoints.

Thus, your main goal is to maximize the amount of calories going towards active tissues and minimize the amount of calories going towards inactive tissue. In other words, you want to feed your muscles, brain and organs while starving your fat cells.

This is the secret behind effective and sustainable arm toning.

So without further ado, here is how to tone your arms faster than before by starving fat cells:

1. Avoid saturated fat. Saturated fat decreases insulin sensitivity. In other words, it blocks nutrients from getting into your active tissues. Not all saturated fat is created equal, however. Plant saturated fat should be consumed on a regular basis.

2. Make 25% of your caloric intake come from unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fats make the membranes of your cells more permeable. They help your cells take in more nutrients. This translates into faster recovery and less calories going towards fat cells-the perfect recipe to tone your arms.

3. Help insulin do its job with supplements. There are certain supplements that will help insulin do its job within your body. And if insulin does a better job, more nutrients will go to your active tissues instead of fat tissues.

4. Get leaner. Ironically, the leaner you get the more calories your body diverts towards muscle. Thus, as you keep on losing fat, more of what you eat will be shuffled away from arm fat cells. This should serve as encouragement to not stop your fat loss efforts.

5. Resistance train often. Resistance training will be your best friend if you want to tone those arms. One way it will help you is by increasing the amount of glucose transporters on the surface of your active tissues. In other words, it opens up the channels on your cells so that they can suck in more nutrients.

Teaching your body to shuffle more nutrients towards your active tissues is a top priority strategy if you really want to tone those arms. This will allow you to starve your arm fat cells while eating a healthy amount of calories. - 17273
