What to do about bat wings

amunet07

Ok! So I went shopping and bought cute new tiny & hip clothes. The problem is one of the shirts I love so much is very short sleeved (right one the edge of where my shoulder curves). It looks cute every where else but makes me notice the fat on the back of my arms.

What do I do!?? I don't have any weights or if I do I lost them in the move. I do have a stretch band with handles. Will just general weight loss get rid of it or do I need to isolate them with exercise ?

Fat loss is the only thing that reduces fat. Training is still important, but resistance training burns relatively few calories on its own and won't make an area smaller. You can still train without weights--pushups, tricep pushups, chair dips, and overhead extensions with the band will all work your triceps.

Thank you

I guess I'm going to have to bit the bullet and do those things. lol I haven't ventured into the Strength Training world on my Wii Fit except for 3 of the exercises that the Yoga section suggests... so I will have to make that effort.

you dont need to buy weights, just use things around your house, like big cans of soup, or bottles of shampoo.

:laugh: :laugh: Sorry to laugh, but I was thinking a totally different kind of bat wings, I'm sure the men in the forum know what I mean :laugh: :laugh:

Yoga and pilates are amazing ways to build strength as well as weight training. You need to do consistent strength training for results, the part of the arm I think you are referring to will require consistent training to get in and stay in the shape you want but you can do it! :flowerforyou:

You know, I have the exact same problem... I can deal with most everything else but ARM FAT and ANKLE FAT does me in. Thank you Jalopes... I am now on a scavenger hunt for heavy things around my house.

Ok, don't get offended. The term bat wings is applied when men get sweaty in their manly area and their "baggage" sticks to their upper thighs and when they try to move it all stretches and looks like bat wings.
