Are you tired of seeing your arms getting out of shape, flapping whenever you run or jiggling whenever you raise it? Flabby arms have always been the bane of most women’s existence, especially when these are what most people see negatively about your body. Besides the “mom bod” or “dad bod,” these unwanted flaps in the arms often cause depression and embarrassment among American adults.

While flabby arms cannot be avoided because of age, you can do something about it if the cause of your unwanted flab is body fat. You can easily lessen the upper arm eye sore by reducing weight and eating a well-balanced meal. If you wish to eliminate your flabby, jiggly arms, then check out these 5 best workouts to help tone your arm muscles.

1) Sideways Floor Push Up

Health Magazine recommends lying on your left side with the left leg slightly bent and the right leg extending diagonally from the hip. Place the left arm on the waist then start to bend the right arm by placing the right hand on the mat just across the left shoulder. Push the body up and down as one rep then continue to do this 24 times before switching to the other side. Complete two sets to finish the workout.

2) Shadow Boxing

Total Beauty writes that by doing 15 to 20 reps to two to three sets will help tone your arms. Start by standing with feet apart, knees bent softly, and the body’s core engaged. Punch across on each side then do uppercuts by bending arm in a 90-degree angle. Swing going upward, directly to the chest of the invisible opponent and add weights to increase the intensity of the workout.

3) Tricep Extensions

Healthy and Natural World recommends lying on the floor with a straight back then start raising the arms right above the chest. Maintain the elbows at a slightly bent position but avoid locking it. Slowly bend the elbows to a 90-degree position to make sure that the weights are able to reach the floor.

Both elbows should reach both sides of the head then start lifting. Repeat it 15 times with dumbbells that measure one to two kilograms on each hand. To eliminate flabby arms, this workout can be done by either lying down or standing up, back flat on the floor or wall, respectively.
