sort of fat upper arms =)


Question Posted Tuesday May 18 2004, 8:15 am

I am slightly underweight .
I'm about 5'2 and about 36 kg , which is not really seriously underweight , so no problems there . Lots of pple tell me that i'm really thin and stuff , but i can't help noticing that i seem to have rather fat upper arms . What can i do about this ? ( i don't think it will be wise to diet , as i am already light , and i don't want any of my measurements to change , except for my upper arms ) .

Repetitions of fast movement will tone them down. MFS is right in that you definitely don't want to use heavy weights. I would try a sport that utilizes the fast movement, like ping pong, or a martial art.

...how about working out to tone the muscles in your arms?

Why everyone instantly thinks of diet first, I find worrisome. If you don't like the shape of your upper arms, give them a good workout, and tone/build the muscles in that area instead. I'm not saying that you should get all muscle-bound - just shape and tone what you've already got.

This would mean finding a variety of exercises to do that are good for the bicepts and tricepts - and do not use large weights - you want light weights and repeptition to do toning. Working with heavy weights will build muscle bulk, which is the opposite of what you'd want to do.

Talk to a trainer or someone in fintness should you have more specific questions.
