If you are looking to tone and lose the loose skin you have two options: quick and easy (brachioplasty) or slow steady (tricep exercises)Brachioplasty is a surgical option for anyone with loose upper arm skin.
This procedure is more common for people who have lossed a lot of weight and are left with saggy skin. If you have an extra $5000 to spend and you don’t mind the nasty surgical scar from your armpit to your elbow then be my guest and go under the knife.
However, if you do not have that much skin to tone or you rather get the results the good ol fashioned way here a few excercies that will give you the look you want.
Tricep Pushdowns
1) Stand straight, legs slightly bent, and face the cable machine.
2) Grab the handle, make sure your palms are facing down, and keep your elbows at a 90 angle
3) When your elbows are in a locked position slowly pull the weight down until your arms are straight
4) Slowly let the weight back up
To tone your muscles do 3 sets between 12-15 reps
Dips
Here's how you do them:
1) Position your hands shoulder width apart on a secured bench or stable chair.
2) Move your booty in front of the bench with your legs bent and feet placed about hip width apart on the floor.
3) Straighten out your arms and keep a little bend in your elbows in order to always keep tension on your triceps and off your elbow joints.
4) Now slowly bend at your elbows and lower your upper body down towards the floor until your arms are at about a 90 degree angle. Be sure to keep your back close to the bench.
5) Once you reach the bottom of the movement, slowly press off with your hands, and push yourself straight back up to the starting position.
Do three sets of 10
Remember my friends…slow and steady wins the race!!!
