Arm Exercises
Since I have gained so much weight my arms are quite big and flabby, I was wondering what types of exercises would help so they don't stay this way forever :/ I'm unable to go to a gym (I'm a student so I don't really have the money), but I do have hand weights which are 2kg (4.4lbs). Any exercises that I can do at home would be fantastic, thank you so much for your time and help! :)

Hey,
You can't spot train. You can make your arms look a bit tighter by doing heavy exercises (aka, the weights you have won't work). Use your body weight for moves like push ups, tri-cept dips using your couch ect.. (google body weight exercises). Your body is going to choose where it wants to take fat off of. You could run everyday and fat could be coming off your arms before it comes off your legs! |
I 100% understand that you cannot spot train, I just don't want to lose weight everywhere and have flabby arms, haha. I will definitely Google body weight exercises :) Thanks!

In my P90X routine there's arms and shoulders and they really work. You don't need a lot of weight, the weights you have now would work. I found an exercise band is awesome because you can adjust the tension yourself by looping it and stepping on it. Here's some of the things you can do:
Alternating Shoulder Press In & Out Bicep Curls Two-arm Tricep Kickbacks Deep Swimmer’s Press Full Supination Concentration Curls Chair Dips Upright Row Static Arm Curls Flip-Grip Twist Tricep Kickbacks Two-angle Shoulder Flyes Crouching Cohen Curls Lying-down Tricep Extensions In & Out Straight-arm Shoulder Flyes Congdon Curls and Side Tri-Rises |
Oh, I'm definitely going to have to try these! I was looking at an exercise band today, I might have to go back and buy it!

Bands are great! Bodyweight exercises are awesome for arms, too. Tricep dips, pushups, planks etc... all work arms and the rest of the body :). I like killing more than one bird with a stone!
