This is a bit of a wake up call about doing some strength training for balance, especially if osteoporosis is a condition you have. Yeah, I know it hurts, but broken bones hurt worse, and bed sores are a real pain. BTW I’m not advocating buying the book, just the exercising.

Having lost some weight, my bat wings are even more obvious than they were from just aging. I was happy to find these exercises. Maybe they will help you, too.

🔈 WHAT CAUSES BAT WINGS?

The occurrence of flabby arms are due to the accumulation of excess of fat and result in loose and hanging skin in the upper portion of the person's arms. They make the arms look thicker than usual. Flabby arms are also called as Bat wings.

They are a result of increased age (>30years) when the body fat increases and the lean muscle decreases. These changes occur due to hormonal changes taking place with increase in age and due to sedentary (less active) lifestyle. With age, there is a decrease in the rate of metabolism, less amounts of calories are burnt which leads to increased accumulation of body fat. This in turn, results in the weight gain. The excess fat then starts getting stored in the regions of the arms and gives a saggy appearance.

💡 MAJOR MUSCLES OF THE ARMS

The major muscles in the arms include the deltoids, biceps and triceps. The deltoids are the major muscles in the shoulders and are responsible for lifting the arms up forward and out to the sides. The biceps brachii runs down the front of the upper arm and is in charge of bending the elbow joints against resistance. The triceps, on the back of the upper arms, overcome resistance to straighten the elbow joints.

💡 HOW TO LOSE BAT WINGS?

Answer: to exercise and to eat proper diet.

➡️ EXERCISES THAT HELP LOSE BAT WINGS

🏋️‍♀️ The Windmill Arm Rotation
Rotating the upper arms and the shoulders is a good workout for the arms and helps in strengthening the upper arms and the neck and shoulders muscles. In this exercise, the biceps and triceps are targeted secondarily. It involves, raising the arms in front at the shoulder level and place them parallel to the ground. Further, rotating the arms upwards, then backwards, bringing them down and then in the front and repeating the procedure

🏋️‍♀️ Triceps Push Ups
It is the most common exercise that burns fat in the arms and develops triceps. One should perform at least 12 sets of bench dips. While performing this exercise at home, one should keep a bench or chair behind and place one's arms on it and hold it. Now, place a stool under your feet so that they are raised from the ground. The dips are to be performed now by lowering the body, however make sure that the hands are tucked in at the sides and the elbow is at 90 degrees. Repeat the exercise. The other triceps involving exercises are triceps kickbacks, triceps extension and bent over row can be also performed by using dumbbells.

🏋️‍♀️ Triceps Extension
While keeping your abdominal muscles pulled in, slightly bend forward at the hips. Place the left hand on your left thigh or on a chair. You should have a dumbbell weighing 3 to 5 pounds on your right hand. With your elbow bent, pull the upper arm of your right hand up and back such that it’s parallel to the floor. Now extend your arm straight back and out. Pause for a while then bring back the arm to the initial position. Do 3 sets of 15 reps for each arm.

⚠️ Targeted exercises can help to reduce weight in this area, though a person is likely to experience more satisfying results from a full-body workout.
