Lifting dumbbells in front and to the sides

Lifting dumbbells in front of you is aimed at developing the anterior bundle of deltoid muscles. To work through medium bun, you need to do lateral raises.

Push-ups
Push-ups are performed with own weight. Therefore, you can do them both at home and in the gym. They use the muscles not only of the arms, but also of almost the entire body: legs, shoulders and abdomen.

![](https://i0.wp.com/nadietu.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/1517076515_5a6cc02060ded.jpg)
The back should move almost close to the support. Elbows should not be spread to the sides. To make the exercise more difficult, you can place your feet on another bench. This option is considered masculine, as it requires enough developed muscles.
Pull-ups
Another exercise for slender arms with your own weight - pull-ups. It is usually performed by men. It is more difficult for girls to learn how to do pull-ups. To engage the biceps, you need to use a reverse grip. It should be neither too narrow nor too wide.
To perform pull-ups at home or in the gym, a horizontal bar must be installed. If your legs touch the floor while hanging, they will need to be slightly bent at the knees.
Technique:
- go to the horizontal bar and grab it with the middle reverse grip(palms facing you);
- hang with your elbows slightly bent so that your biceps immediately receive the required load;

- then lower to the starting position.
The elbows should be parallel to the body, they should not be placed to the sides.

And a little about secrets...
The story of one of our readers Alina R.:
I was especially depressed about my weight. I gained a lot, after pregnancy I weighed as much as 3 sumo wrestlers together, namely 92 kg with a height of 165. I thought the belly would go away after giving birth, but no, on the contrary, I began to gain weight. How to cope with hormonal changes and obesity? But nothing disfigures or makes a person look younger than his figure. At the age of 20, I first learned that plump girls are called “WOMAN” and that “they don’t make clothes that size.” Then at the age of 29, divorce from my husband and depression...
But what can you do to lose weight? Laser liposuction surgery? I found out - no less than 5 thousand dollars. Hardware procedures - LPG massage, cavitation, RF lifting, myostimulation? A little more affordable - the course costs from 80 thousand rubles with a nutritionist consultant. You can, of course, try to run on a treadmill until you go crazy.
And when will you find time for all this? And it's still very expensive. Especially now. That's why I chose a different method for myself...
A set of exercises for practicing at home
Get ready for the fact that there are two news on the issue of losing weight on your arms.
- The first is that there is no such thing as losing weight in one specific part of the body: you will have to exercise one way or another, training the whole body and paying a little more attention to the muscles of the arms.
- The second news: you can do it right at home, and some of the exercises can be done without additional accessories like dumbbells.
You can’t start training right away with exercises for losing weight in your arms; first you need to do a light warm-up.
Carry out the one you are used to or use ours:
- feet shoulder-width apart, raise straight arms to the sides 90 degrees and make 30 rotational movements clockwise and counterclockwise with your hands;
- from the same position, make 15 circular rotations with your whole arm forward and backward;
- move on to jumping: jump on both legs, holding your hands as if you were jumping rope;
- from the position of legs together, arms along the body, vigorously do jumps with swings for 40-50 seconds: jump - legs to the sides, arms up, starting position.
After warming up, go directly to your workout.
So, what exercises without dumbbells can be used to lose weight on your arms?
- Push-ups- a classic of the genre. Place your hands on the floor, placing your palms directly under your shoulders, and lower your body parallel to the floor, bending your elbows. If it’s difficult, lower your knees and rest them on the floor, it will become easier. Do 2 sets of 10-15 push-ups.
- Elevated push-ups. Do push-ups with one hand on the seat of one chair and the other on the seat of the second. Toes rest on the floor, back is straight. Do two sets of 20-25 push-ups.
- Reverse push-ups. Sit on the floor, bend your knees and place your hands on the floor behind your back. Raise your pelvis and begin to push up, bending your elbows at right angles and straightening your arms again. Do 2 sets of 15-20 reps.
Here are a few exercises for losing weight on your arms using dumbbells
- Raising arms from a half squat. Place your feet shoulder-width apart and squat deeply so that your shins are perpendicular to the floor. Bend your torso forward, lower your arms with dumbbells down. Raise your arms with dumbbells to the sides, exhale at the bottom point, inhale at the top. Do 25 reps.
- Pulling your arms back. The starting position is the same as in the previous exercise, arms are bent at the elbows and pressed to the sides. Straighten your arms with dumbbells, moving them back as far as possible, repeat 25 times.
- Retraction of hands behind the head. Stand straight, feet shoulder-width apart, arms with dumbbells raised up. Gently bend your elbows, lowering the dumbbells behind your head, then return your arms to the starting position. Repeat this 25 times.
Please note: We provide an average set of exercises, approaches and repetitions. You can add other exercises to this complex or reduce the load. The most important thing is to focus on your level of preparation. Just try to do more repetitions each time, at least once.
Remember that you can achieve maximum efficiency only with the right combination of physical activity and healthy eating. Therefore, immediately think about your diet. It should be balanced and complete - this means that it contains proteins, fats and carbohydrates in sufficient quantities, you drink enough water a day, eat fresh vegetables and fruits (especially seasonal ones), and eat 3-5 times a day.

24 July 2016, 16:17 2016-07-24Many women dream of thin, graceful arms and shoulders. But not everyone has such fragile, beautiful hands. The thing is that it is on the hands that swelling is often observed. In addition, the shoulders and upper arms become precisely those areas where excess fat is deposited. How can this be? What exercises to choose for losing weight on your arms so that the result is obvious and doesn’t take long to arrive? Today we have to look at a fairly large set of exercises, the most effective and easy to perform. With such training, girls can lose weight on their arms and shoulders directly at home. You don't even have to visit gym.
Many trainers and nutritionists note that exercises for losing weight in the arms are now increasingly in high demand. After all, sometimes there is not even a need for general weight loss. A woman has a quite elegant, harmonious figure, a slender waist, but her arms become problematic due to swelling, sagging skin, and fat. In addition, everyone knows perfectly well that it is appearance hands, you can quite accurately determine that a woman is already aged. All that remains is to correct this area to look great!
Cause of problems
We will try to identify the main reason why the arms, as well as the shoulders, become problem areas of the body. It is observed that even slim women suffer from excessive fullness of the hands. Usually body fat accumulate in the area above the elbow. In some cases, you can see swelling in the area below the elbow. When a person begins to lose weight, he also faces the problem of fat arms. That is, with an active lifestyle, long walks, certain physical activity fat deposits are removed from the hips and waist, and from other areas. But her hands still reveal that the woman is not in very good shape. And in the end, such arms and shoulders spoil the impression of the entire figure as a whole!
When women approach older age and become elderly, the situation gets even worse. After all, from the age of thirty it begins to decrease muscle tissue in the hand area! Over time, the situation only gets worse. More and more fat deposits accumulate in the body. The hands simultaneously lose muscle elasticity and become a place for fat and fluid deposition. As a result, they look flabby, unkempt and visually add a lot of age to their owner.
It is also very important that over time a person’s metabolic process slows down. This means that calories are burned much slower, but fats are stored faster. Metabolic processes also gradually slow down. It is imperative to always monitor and total weight bodies.
How to cope with the fullness of your arms and shoulders?
- Of course, you must be active, play more sports, and increase physical activity.
- In addition, it is necessary to perform special exercises to lose weight on your arms. They give noticeable results after literally two to three weeks.

Reverse push-up (with two supporting hands)
This is a surprisingly effective exercise that is actively used by professional athletes to accelerate drying of the body.
You can do it right at home without using special equipment. The arms become elastic, elastic and toned, the triceps are developed.
It is more convenient to perform the exercise if you take a chair with high back, strong table. When performing exercises, you will smoothly transfer almost the entire body weight to the triceps. It is the correct application of force that is of decisive importance here.

It is especially useful to do three approaches, including 15-20 repetitions in each.
Walking in a plank (longitudinal)
Exceptional results can be achieved in a short time if you regularly perform the following exercise. You will walk carefully in a plank position, stepping with your feet and arms outstretched. We are learning how to make a fairly complex complex.
- First you need to take the starting position. This position is called the longitudinal bar. Hands should be kept shoulder-width apart, but the stomach should be pulled in and tucked in well. Remember that your arms should be extended. We also lean on our toes.
- Press your feet and legs tightly together along their entire length.
- Point your fingers forward, straighten your body, place it in one line.
- Now carefully move your left leg to the left. The movement is performed together with the left hand. You should fix the position for a couple of seconds and take a break. Hands are crossed - that’s how it should be, everything is right.
- Now the same element has to be repeated, but with right foot, left hand.
- Smoothly return to the starting position when you have already had time to rest a little.
- Remember that your stomach should always be well tucked.
- At the next stage, you will have to change position again and take a step to the side. Complete the elements one by one.
A good solution is to do the exercise in three sets, with at least 10 repetitions. It's a little complicated, but very effective. You will see this very quickly.
Push-ups (standard)
Standard push-ups bring excellent results. We have all long been accustomed to this exercise, but it turned out to be surprisingly effective.

Please note: doing push-ups is not so easy, especially if you have no experience. To get used to it, you can do exercises from your knees for the first few days. You will transfer some of your body weight to your legs, which will make the element much easier to perform. Experts recommend performing the exercise ten times in a row, at least two approaches. It's even better if you manage to do three sets with short breaks. If you don’t have enough experience yet, increase the load gradually. You can choose which push-ups are more convenient for you to do: in a position with your hands shoulder-width apart, push-ups are called open, but if you bring your hands close, the push-up will turn into a closed one.
Push-ups (lateral classic)
When girls need to do exercises to lose weight in their arms at home, classic lateral push-ups are perfect for them. Of course, this sports element can hardly be called easy, so you need to start it when you are already quite familiar with ordinary straight push-ups and can do them without much difficulty.

At the same time, make sure that your palms are directed with your palms forward, and not in different sides. The effectiveness of the exercise largely depends on the correct stance.
- Key stage: you bend your left elbow joint, and smoothly move your entire body to the left.
- Hold the position for a few seconds.
- Gently return your body to its original position.
- Now repeat the element, but with the other supporting hand. You will have to bend your elbow slowly right hand, and smoothly move the whole body to the right.
If you understand that you cannot perform the exercise well yet, start with its lighter version. At first, it is allowed to do push-ups from your knees. But then, be sure to switch to the classic execution, because the effect from it is significantly higher.
