Tips On How To Lose Your Arm Flabs

Do you have that dreaded little flap hanging from your arms called "Arm Flab"?
I guess we all know of someone who does, don't we?

I've seen it, when men and women who goes for their daily walk or jog and you can literally see that arm flab flapping, my wife calls it "their wings", jokingly of course. An you know, I tell my wife, I think it's time to get rid of the arm flabs, once a for all (including me).

At some stage of our life, we get it, I guess we are all not immune to it. My wife and I, we put our minds to it and religiously followed our program, and I'm
proud to say that we are free from those "arm flabs", and I would like to share with you how we did it, in the process building stronger arms.

Let me introduce you to my wife, Priscilla, she was a 55 year old housewife, still the love of my life, but she looked flabby and 60 pounds over weight (I
hope she's not reading my article), she had the dreaded "Arm Flabs". But that was when she was 55.

But now, at age 57...what a transformation, like those "MakeOver TV shows". Wow. not an OUNCE overweight, mind you, looking even more beautiful, with those pounds off, Priscilla truly transformed, and we owe it all to "Fit Over 40". Priscilla, have beautiful arms, and her arm flabs was replaced by "Toned Arms".

Here's some highlights we read from the ebook, and it's the basics to get you started:

1. You have to get your nutrition right. Most people think that the flab on their arms (or anywhere for that matter) can be solved by "turning it into muscle." This is not true folks. If memory of school service me right, fat does not turn into "anything". It is used for energy. Muscle is muscle. Fat is fat.

You must use low-insulin nutrition, to lower your bodyfat. For ladies, the back-of-the-arm bodyfat is often the last bit to go.

But I promise -- it will go. It can go for anyone. My wife Priscilla and dozens of our friends that we shared the book with, and....they did it.

Low-insulin nutrition means eating more protein-rich foods, foods that are not processed, and plenty of tasty veggies. But it does not mean you cannot have your pizza and burgers here and there. I do every week and my bodyfat is low.

2. You must train your triceps. The back of the arm is made of three muscles called the "triceps". You have a long head, a medial head and a lateral head that form the triceps muscle group (this was explained in the book).

And if you're like me (gym is too far away), you can do plain-old pushups to work all three heads of the triceps. Here's a few tips.
First, if you cannot do a pushup with your legs straight, start by doing them on your knees. Work up to straight-legged pushups. (When I first started this
program at age 57, I couldn't do pushup with my legs straight, but now at age 59, I can do it with ease).

Second, do one third of your reps with your hands facing away from your body, one third with your hands facing toward your body (fingers pointing
toward you) and the final third with your hands in the "normal" pushup position, facing the same direction as your body. This will work the various heads nicely.

If you have access to a gym, see the exercises for the triceps found in the book Fit Over 40.

3. Finally, you have to have a role model. Find someone like Priscilla who has lost their wings and use their success to inspire you.

Put these three things together and you too will be "grounded" -- wingless, but with a lovely pair of arms that never jiggle and look fantastic.
