So, let’s talk “spot reduction.” We all have that one area of the body that we hate with a passion. At one point or another, I’m sure you’ve done what I sometimes do, look in the mirror, squeeze that excess skin (whether it be on your lower stomach, under your arms… etc) & wish there was a magic scissor to remove these areas without any pain. What we must remember are these trouble spots will come off in time using the right method. Let’s use that jiggle under the arm that everybody hates. Doing tricep dips & tricep extensions every single day all day long will still not remove this trouble zone. This is a hard-to-work area that will require you to stick to your diet plan and continue to work extra hard in the gym. You will need to do more cardio in order to get even leaner than you are right now. Along with cardio, strength training will help tone those muscles.
Below are some easy steps to help you…
~Reduce calories & eat healthier.. get rid of everything white! no white bread, white potatoes, white rice… BROWN is the way to go! & no more junk food, it’s only adding more jiggle!
~Cardiovascular exercise will no doubt help you lean out but be smart about it… if you are trying to lose the arm jiggle, try a type of cardio will involves elbow flexion and extension such as kickboxing, swimming or the dreaded elliptical (don’t forget your ipod, you might get bored!)
~Strength training burns more calories than you think! Add some extra bursts of cardio (jumping jacks, jump rope) for some added burn.
If you keep at it, work hard, stay dedicated & push yourself to the max, I promise you these trouble areas will be your new favorite body parts 🙂
