Arm flab exercise?
Someone posted a good arm flab exercise quite a
while ago. This is for the back part of the arm between the elbow and shoulder. Can someone refresh my memory? Thanks much. Marsha/Ohio |

[for someone looking for triceps exercises] Pushups and pushaways. Seated dips will hit the triceps as well. Important thing to remember though - these will build the muscles in the area - making it potentially less flabby but won't do anything about any excess fat there. Martha who *really* wishes spot reduction worked. |

I tend to believe the contention that there is no such thing as spot
reducing. Just because a muscle is near a lump of fat does not mean the body will use that particular fat to refuel itself. "Marsha" wrote in message ...

Pushups and pushaways. Groan. Do you know how bad I am at pushups. I look like a swayback horse. It'll have to be pushaways. Marsha/Ohio |

One site I found on Google suggests pushaways from a wall for beginners and then graduate to counter push-backs, then go on to real pushups. That sounds like it might work until I get rid of some of this belly. Marsha/Ohio |

Marsha/Ohio Any weight lifting exercises for the triceps will help. :-) Cable pushdowns and "skull crushers", as well as dumbell kickbacks. These three can be googled for form and info.

Got any exercises for head flab dear? You sure could use it! ;-) I knew what you meant by the way, too bad you actually named a real body weight move! -- Om.
