Arms Tone and Trim

If you want to lose fat from your arms, you must do these Pilates exercises that specifically target the fat around the arms.  Women often forget to exercise their shoulders when it comes to workouts unlike men who are equally concerned about their shoulders as they are for their abdomen.  Your hands and legs are the most exercised parts of the body and therefore, they should be strong and toned both.  Do not ignore the fat hanging from your arms.  Tone thy arms with simple yet effective Pilates exercises. 

Pilates for Toning the Arms

Arms tone and trim

  

Pilates is a great exercise to strengthen the core but when talking about arms, it works on the endurance of the muscles which means the movements are done one after another and in a smooth manner.  This means it works on all of those small muscles and muscles groups.  This, in turn, gives you a shaped, toned and lean look.

 

Posterior Standing Hundred

  • Stand in the straight position with your toes shoulder-width apart.

  • Now clap with your arms quickly back and forth

  • Pushing back, focusing on pushing away and behind the body.

  • This exercise targets the triceps area and back of the arms.

Pilates doesn’t use weights, it just uses a progressive resistance like a string, or we will do exercises with an elastic band.  If someone doesn’t have a band, all of the exercises can be done with a can of soup or a water bottle.  This can provide resistance.  

 

Bra Fat 

Exercises need to be done one after the other in a smooth manner without any breaks in between.  When they have combined altogether, they actually work on all the muscle groups.  The posterior part of the arms which is called the bra fat is difficult to reach.  Since this area is very difficult to reach through the conventional exercises like bicep curls, Pilates works for bra fat area very well.  In short, Pilates not only tone the front of the arms but also the back part of the arms, shoulder blades and bra fat.
