Do you deal with flabby arms? You know, those bits of fat that hang below your upper arms. They’re annoying to deal with, and when you want to off your arms in the summertime, you may find yourself covering up with a sweater instead. However, we should always be feeling comfortable and confident in our bodies. Although we would love to get rid of flabby arms, there isn’t enough time in the day for a full workout or exercise plan.

However, there are short and quick exercises you can regularly do, in order to help you get rid of those flabby arms! Here are 5 workouts you can do right at your home.

1) The ideal “pushup”.

  1. Get into “push-up” position. Lie down with your body horizontal against the ground. Put your arms directly below your shoulders, and your knees on the ground.
  2. Lift your kneees up and straighten out your legs. You should feel your abs tighten up.
  3. Lower your body all the way down. Keep your back straight, with 3 inches of separation between your chest and the ground.
  4. Focusing on your triceps, push up slowly until your arms are straight. Keep your back and legs straight at all times.
  5. Repeat 20 times.

  1. Facing the wall, stand arms-length distance away.
  2. Extend your arms at shoulder height to the wall. Your palms should be flat against the wall.
  3. Lean your body towards the wall. Feet should be in the same place.
  4. Focusing on your triceps, push away from the wall until your arms are straight again.
  5. Repeat 20 times.

All of these workouts focus on your triceps, which is the main muscle where flabby arms form. If you continue to workout your triceps, that muscle will be more tone, and slowly, but surely, you’ll get rid of those flabby arms!
