how to lose arm fat for women over 50 if you're interested in losing your arm fat
as you're getting older we've got to put in the effort today but we don't need to
be athletes now we're over 50 but we do need to do some form of physical
exercise every single day today we're going to really work on toning and
strengthening our arms we're going to get rid of this arm fat and you can do
it let's get started the first thing we're going to do when we exercise our
arms just to give them a little stretch we've got to make our muscles warm
before we start working out if you haven't already done my five minutes
stretching video it's really great I'll leave a link up here but it's an
everyday thing that you've got to do to keep our bodies supple as we're getting
older so we just stretch our arms and
let's get started this workout - only five minutes long but it packs a punch
I love this exercise so much it's a great shoulder exercise it's going to
tone our shoulders beautifully I've got two hand weights here these ones are two
kilos you can start at whatever weight is comfortable for you but as long as
you've got weight that's all we need for today make sure your shoulder and your
Arm at the same height and we raise this arm keep your right arm straight
this is so good you're actually working both arms in a different way doing this
exercise and the challenge is to keep the right arm straight but we're only
doing 30 seconds so you can do this swap arms out straight
make sure it's straight and not dropping and with this arm we're using a straight
angle as well you'll be feeling this I can guarantee it if this is too much for
you drop the weight drop this weight first and just use your hand like this
and activate your hand and keep going for just a few more seconds done okay
same weights in your hand we're going to lift to our shoulder and come down do
this movement very slowly and
purposefully hold your core in tight slightly slightly bend your knees and
get those shoulders moving this one's so good I did a workout with a personal
trainer last week and I asked him what's his number one piece of advice that he
gives to older women and his answer was for all of us to carry anything we can
when we get the opportunity to carry something do so for example if you've
got groceries that you need to bring home rather than put them in a trolley
or get your kids to help you carry them yourself because the more that we can
lift in everyday life the better it is going to be for us as we're getting
older because we get to stay strong so no more asking for everybody to help you
out with carrying things if you can do it do it
okay we're going to do a one-arm cross body lateral these are great for us so
take your left arm with a weight take your right leg and put it over your left
leg okay and then we hold it out straight and go right across our body
and this is kind of mimicking a tennis move lightly have a micro bend in your
elbow and keep your core very tight so we don't move our body like this for
this movement we're keeping our core in and this is what we're doing we're
crossing our right with our left and our arm is crossing over to the from the
right side to the left side okay let's do change over right hand with our
weight left leg over the right leg and start across the body and come out okay
we're getting left and right brain integration here which is going to
increase our motor skills and stop us from getting old anything we can do
during the day that crosses over is what you need to do ah one more oh you can
feel that right uncross your legs shake it out
now we're going to work our triceps so take your hand weight put it in your
hand like this elbows close to your ears and
and we go up keep your elbows very very close try not to bend your back so that
means that you put all of your power into your core if you bend your back it
may cause injury and we don't want that so just keep very very strong in the
core and this is where most of us have arm fat here in our triceps oh so we've
got to work it it's not going to go away by itself in fact if we don't do
anything it's going to stay there and multiply. Ohh that was awesome well done
let's cool down and put our arms out and we'll do some circles so we're not using
weights now and our arms are going to thank us for the weights that we did
lift because we need to be so strong as we're getting older thats our number one
job now that we're this age it probably didn't matter to many of us when we were
younger but now it's got to be everything turn the other way this feels
so nice and easy after using the weights
okay and just give a beautiful stretch thank your arms thank yourself you're
amazing you made the time today so congratulate yourself for that and I
loved working out with you thank you for being here please give a thumbs up if
