How To Get Rid Of Arm Flab

Got arm flab?  …..  Know someone who does?

Some women I know with a healthy sense of humor refer to it as
“their wings” because their arm flab flaps when they walk or jog.

It’s time to get rid of your wings ladies…

… and guys, listen up: You are not immune to arm flab. Even
if your don’t have any, the tips I’m about to give will help you
build stronger arms.

Before I go any further, I have to tell you about Marty Web.

Marty looked like … well, your typical 59-year-old housewife.
Actually she looked a bit worse.

She was a good 80 pounds over her ideal bodyweight. And she had
her wings…

… big time wings. Loads of arm flab.

That was at age 59.

At age 61… wow. Different story.

Marty transformed her body to such a degree that even I could
have never guessed she was an OUNCE overweight!

Her story and 52 others just like her, male and female, are in
my first book — and my best-seller Fit Over 40.

I’d like you to read more about it here –

Marty replaced her “wings” with toned, beautiful arms. And you
can too.

She has two pages in Fit Over 40… too much to cover in an
email… but here’s the basics to get you started:

1. You have to get your nutrition down pat. 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. Fat does not turn into “anything”. It is
used for energy. Period.

Muscle is muscle. Fat is fat.

You must use low-insulin nutrition like I recommend in all my
books, including Fit Over 40, 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. I can go for anyone. Marty Web and
dozens of other ladies in Fit Over 40 prove that in living
color… and they share how 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.

If you cannot access a gym, 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.

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 my book
Fit Over 40:

3. Finally, you have to have a role model. Find someone like Marty 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.
