Fitness Mantra: Easy ways to reduce arm fat

Weight-lifting is a time tested exercise to reduce arm fat. It is also an effective exercise to remove belly fat which strengthens the core. For this exercise, you need to select an item from your home to use as a weight. You can use a two-litre cold drink bottle or a water bottle for this exercise. If you have a pair of dumbbells at home it works out just fine. 

The aim is to reach out for something which weighs around one kilo.  Avoid using something breakable or valuable. While most of us might think skipping is irrelevant, it isn’t so after all. Skipping is the best cardio workout and it’s inexpensive as well. It doesn’t just help you sweat out the fat from your body, but also gives you sleek and toned arms too. 

While you skip, the impact is on the muscles in your arms as you lift your body’s weight as well as move your arms in circular motion. This increases the activity in the arms. Count seconds instead of skipping repetitions to make the process more effective. Chair-dips are an effective exercise that not only tone the arms, but also the back muscles. 

For this workout you need to choose a bed or chair, which is a little higher to the ground. Anything that will be stable on the ground is a good choice. A soft cushion sofa may not be the best idea; it will make the toning exercise harder to perform. 

The furniture should be at least 2 feet higher than the ground. You should have 3 feet of free space in front of the item, to perform this exercise with ease. Face away from the furniture and place your hands on it. Your arms should be shoulder width apart. 

Move three to four steps away from the furniture; keep your upper body straight. This is your starting position. Bend your knees to match the furniture. Bend your elbows and move your whole body to the ground, the aim is to touch the floor. Come back into your normal position. You need to do 3 sets of 20 reps, every day. This is undoubtedly one of the best exercises to do to lose weight fast.
