Are you feeling bothered by excess fat on your arms? Perhaps you are uncomfortable wearing short sleeves or hate the way your arms keep waving goodbye long after you've stopped. You're definitely not alone!
Extra fat on the arms is one of the main complaints of both women and men and can be really frustrating to try to deal with. If you've been wondering how you can lose fat from your arms, take a look at these tips that will have you looking and feeling great in no time.
Here's the bad news first - there is no way that you can only target the fat on your arms. There is not such thing as "spot targeting", when it comes to fat loss which means that if you want to lose your arm fat you will need to lower your overall body fat percentage. Fear not, though! It's not as hard as it may sound.
How do you go about lowering your body fat percentage? Through diet and exercise. Now, that doesn't mean that you have to follow an incredibly restrictive diet or spend all of your time at the gym. In fact, I would advise that you don't do those things or you will just get frustrated and overwhelmed and give up before you have gotten the results that you want.
Exercise
You should try to fit some cardiovascular exercise like jogging, walking, jumping rope or swimming into your schedule each day. If you don't have time for a full workout, try to squeeze in more activity during the course of your regular day...such as parking further from work and walking in or taking the stairs. The best option is to plan time each day for your workout and stick to your schedule, however, with today's busy lifestyle that isn't always possible so if you miss a workout go easy on yourself and just make an effort to be more active in everything you do.
Also, keep in mind that you don't need to do arm exercises to lose arm fat. Any exercise that you do that will help to lower your overall body fat percentage will also get rid of the fat on your arms. Any arm work that you do will just help to build your arm muscles and give them more of a toned look when the fat goes away.
Diet
When it comes to how you can lose fat on your arms, skip "fad" diets or "crash" diets that promise you will lose weight overnight. Let's face it - these types of diets just don't work. Not only that, but they can actually make it harder for you to lose fat (and thus lose your arm fat) by slowing down your metabolism.
Instead, opt for a diet that gives your body the nutrients it needs, that allows you to eat more than 3 times a day and that let's you pick the foods that are on the menu so that you will like everything you have to eat.
You might want to take a look at the Fat Loss for Idiots diet which was specifically designed to help you lose fat quickly and to work with your body rather than against it. On Fat Loss for Idiots you can lose as much as 9 lbs. in 11 days while still keeping your metabolism running strong.
As you start to lower your overall body fat percentage you will see the fat on your arms start to melt away as well and you will get the sleek, sexy, toned arms that you have been wanting.
