\"\"<\/a>After doing some Google research I noticed that people (I\u2019m assuming women) were on the web searching for a few specific things:<\/p>\n

tone flabby arms
\nexercise for flabby arms
\nflabby arm help
\nget rid of arm fat
\nflabby upper arms<\/p>\n

I think we can all see the trend here. Women are looking for a way to get rid of their \u201carm fat\u201d.\u00a0 I say women because this is a general hot spot for fat build up among women.\u00a0 The hips, butt, and sometimes the upper arms tend to take on a little bit extra meat.\u00a0 Men’s fat tends to go straight to their (beer) gut.<\/p>\n

So first off, you are\u00a0NOT ALONE<\/strong>.\u00a0 There are many many women looking for this exact answer and truthfully it is quite easy to answer and fix!\u00a0 Actually, it is a 2 step process.<\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>Reduce body fat
\n2. <\/strong>Do some arm exercises<\/p>\n

I could tell you a few exercises that would be perfect to get more muscle and tone in your arms, but that would only be the first part of the equation.\u00a0 Just like in my post about getting six pack abs<\/a> – <\/span>YOU CAN NOT SPOT TRAIN.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>You already have some muscle in your arms, but\u00a0 unfortunately you have a little build up of fat as well.\u00a0 So the first thing you need to do is lose a little bit of body fat.\u00a0 This can be done fairly easily with a MINOR diet change or hitting the gym for a full body exercise routine a few days a week.\u00a0 Just by getting to the gym and burning some calories your fat percentage should drop. For more information on fat loss just Google \u201cfat loss\u201d and see the wealth of ideas on losing some fat.<\/p>\n

2. <\/strong>While you spend the next couple of weeks losing some fat you can start working out your upper arm (or TRICEP<\/a>) so when you lose a little extra fat you can begin to see your muscle.\u00a0 There are tons of tricep exercises available on the web, but here are a few:<\/p>\n
