Working out the upper arms?!
Question: Working out the upper arms.?
I gained a lot of weight due to illnesses, about 70 pounds and I have lost about 40 pounds of it.
However, I cant seem to lose weight in my upper arms. I know I have lost a little bit of weight because I can fit into long sleeve shirts that I couldn't fit into before. My upper arms are still HUGE though, its what bothers me the most, it makes me look like I have huge shoulders and just makes me look heavier overall.
So I was just wondering what kinds of exercises can I do to help lose that weight and tone up my arms a little.
(right now all I do for working out my arms is push ups, and cleaning lol) Health Question & Answer

The most efficient muscle strenghthening for the upper arms are, bicep curls, tricep rows, tricep kickbacks. For more specific instructions just research "Fitness" on the internet.

Push ups can actually make your shoulders broaden more and flatten your chest.. I used to do tons of pushups until I realized that it's more of a workout for men. If you go to gym, they have certain workouts that focus only on the upper arms. Ask the workers and they'll probably be happy to help you. I asked member at 24 hour fitness and have gotten tons of help. Health Question & Answer
