The skin on the arms is one of the most prone to becoming flabby and affected by both the passage of time and the force of gravity, especially when they are not trained adequately.
The reduction in the production of elastin and collagen is undoubtedly the main cause of flaccidity of the skin on the arms , but also leading an unhealthy lifestyle, with little physical activity and an unbalanced diet can cause or worsen the situation.
In this article we suggest effective exercises that use the weight of our body to help us tone our arms . Start performing the exercises gradually, with series of 10-15 repetitions, and then increase as your physical condition improves.
1. Diamond push ups
Diamond push ups are a variation of the traditional push up exercise that targets the triceps and chest muscles. To perform a diamond push up, you place your hands close together in a diamond shape directly under your chest while keeping your body in a straight line. As you lower your body towards the ground, your elbows will naturally flare out to the sides.
Make sure your elbows are close to your torso. Take a short break, then return to the starting position.
2. Plank
To start, lie on a mat with your abdomen facing down. Bend your elbows to 90 degrees and align them with your shoulders. The body should form a straight line from the head to the heels.
Rest your body weight on your forearms and toes. Contract your abdominal muscles throughout the exercise. Your hips must remain raised throughout the exercise.
3. Tricep dips
Tricep dips are a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the triceps, but also engages the shoulders and chest. To perform a tricep dip, you can use parallel bars or a sturdy bench. Start by gripping the bars or edges of the bench, lowering your body until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle, then pushing yourself back up to the starting position.
Be sure to keep your butt and lower back close to the chair to maximize the benefits of this exercise.
