Many people have problems with fat arms and the below exercises for flabby arms are more geared towards women who prefer to lose these flab rather than to develop arm muscle mass. I hope that these exercises will help get rid of the awkwardness when ladies wear sleeveless tops or dresses. There's nothing difficult about these exercises, but if you do them consistently, they will assist in removing the excess flab from your arms.

First, buy a light dumbbell. It doesn't have to be heavy, about 1kg will do. Once you have it, you can start with performing the following activity. Stand alongside a chair and lean a little forward. Hold the dumbbell in a hand, and grab hold of the chair with the other hand for stability. Pull back the arm holding the dumbbell slightly so your upper arm is almost in line with the ground, and the elbow points towards the back. Without moving your upper arm, slowly draw your lower arm backwards until your arm is straightened and pointing to the back. Relax your lower arm so the dumbbell is lowered and repeat this exercise again. The upper arm should not move in this exercise. Perform this about 30 times, then change to the other arm.

If you have fat forearms, do this exercise. Sit comfortably on a chair and lean slightly forward. On one hand, grab a light dumbbell and rest the forearm on your thigh, leaving the hand dangling. Let the hand sag a bit as the dumbbell's weight pulls it downwards, and then, without moving the forearm, raise the dumbbell up as much as the hand can arch. There should be no vigorous movements. Let your hand slowly sag into the original position again and repeat this activity. Do this about 40 times and switch to the other hand.

If you have a slightly heavier dumbbell, you can try a bicep curl. Plant both feet on the ground and grab a dumbbell in each hand (or do it one at a time). Take a deep breath as you bring up a dumbbell, keeping your upper arms stationary. The elbow is the hinge for this activity. When the dumbbell is as high as you can lift it, begin to exhale as your slowly lower it. Do not totally straighten your arm when the dumbbell gets lowered; this is to maintain a degree of tension in your arm. Perform this exercise 10 times, then switch to the other arm. Each arm will perform this exercise 10 times before switching to the other, and this exercise should be done for 3 sets per arm. When you alternate your arms, the other arm has an opportunity to recuperate. Be careful not to choose too heavy a weight.

If you are doubtful whether you should be trying these exercises for flabby arms, it's safer to seek the opinion of a doctor. When you first beging performing these exercises, you may find it difficult, so go slowly. As your body gets used to it, you will find it easier to do them. A healthy diet is very crucial to go along with your exercises. For most effective results, you will need a good weight loss plan.
