flabby arm prob??

I had that problem and I started lifting heavier and it has helped alot!!!!!!

I agree that you have to lift weights and do multiple exercises to use those muscles from different angles. So, you also want to be doing exercises that work your back and chest because all those muscles connect. I lost 85 lbs and had little pockets of extra skin but now that I lift weights they are quite reduced. It does take time and consistency. I've got a three month progression picture on my profile and when I took the first one I had already been weight lifting for a month. My profile picture was taken after about 7 months of heavy lifting.

i am trying the biceps triceps exercises for 1 months and lets see what results it brings

Bi and tri exercises won't make the fat leave the arm area. The body takes from where it wants. This is still trying to "spot reduce" IMHO.

Don't get me wrong, lifting is great, but it's not going to make your body lose from the area you work.

I have that same problem, but since I've lost a few pounds, they are slowly getting smaller. Just hang in there and keep up with the cardio and weight training. Eventually it will tighten up.. at least thats what I'm hoping...LOL

You can strengthen an area, but you can't spot reduce. Lose the overall body fat %.

my arms are 12 inches each!that ridiculous with my 28 inches waist! i am trying the biceps triceps exercises for 1 months and lets see what results it brings
btw i am a total procrastinator...:( no patience at all

For..1...month....ummm..try 3-6 months before giving up. And with reps remember -

1-5 reps focuses on strength
6-12 focuses on hypertrophy (which is probably want you want to be doing)
13+ endurance

And keep pushing yourself to go heavier.

Another cardio recommendation is Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I'm 40 years old and had typical "Mom" arms when I started: (big all around, no definition and the flabby underside when I'd wave.) The 30 Day Shred workout only takes 30 minutes to do, but it combines both cardio and strength training. It will help burn away your fat while strengthening your muscle. You do need to stick to your MFP calorie limit too, (no exercise alone will burn away all your fat).

My arms are not perfect now, but I have distinct muscle definition in my shoulders, biceps and triceps. The underarm jiggle has lessened greatly and I am in hopes that with continued weight loss and exercise that it will soon be gone.

Cardio is great for endurance. 30DS is Cardio/Endurance. It isn't strength training and you need strength training for body recomposition.

How tall are you? A 22 year-old female who is currently 130 pounds looking to get to 110 probably does not actually have flabby arms. Lift weights, get happy with your body.

i am 5.2'..arms arms 12 inches

Can you post picture please

I am not so sure about the lift heavy advice. When I was much, MUCH younger (in my early 20's), I did a lot of heavy lifting and my arms got pretty big. I had to alter all my uniform shirts because my arms didn't fit. Well, later all that muscle turned to flab and now I have huge bat wings. Are the two things connected? Not sure but I really think so. Of course, I gained a lot of weight too, so that didn't help.

I have been swimming laps 30 minutes a day for the last few months and I think I can see a little improvement. Not all in the bat wing area, but there is SOME muscle starting to appear down there. I can feel it when I push up on the squishy part. Also, my wrists and lower arms are much better. I used to have a little roll of fat at my wrist and that is completely gone.

So, maybe you could try swimming, but it takes a long time, no matter what you do.

I'm pretty sure the muscle didn't turn to flab. It was the gaining of weight.

You must have been an extremely special snowflake because it just isn't that easy for the normal female to pack on appreciable muscle mass.

Oh...and muscle doesn't turn to fat, nor can fat turn to muscle.

My personal experience, having lost significant weight through regularly lifting heavy (last time) and rarely lifting heavy (this time until a few weeks ago) is that the only effect lifting has that might seem like it makes a difference is that post workout full muscle look - if the muscle looks fuller, the arm fat looks like it is proportionally less. Other than that I think it just comes down fat loss over time, but I can't be certain until I have been lifting a bit longer - comparing between progress pics this time and last time, I can't really tell why my chest and stomach appear to be different despite measurements being similar.

The one thing I do know is that I will still have flabby arms (assuming by that you mean that, errr... how to describe... the fat hangs down if you hold your arm out the side parallel to the floor with the thumb angled towards the ceiling) when I hit 176 lb (~20%BF). The math might say I only have 27 pounds of fat left to lose (at 176 lb that'll be 21 lb remaining) until I am lean, but I think it is a case of waiting until I see the results (both Bod Pod and DOD/Navy formula are in agreement, but until I know what I look like at 155 lb it's a bit hard to believe that is all I have left to lose).

ETA: Not sure if I came across properly. Lifting heavy might help aesthetically, but it won't reduce the fat. Reducing body fat and lifting heavy will likely have the best aesthetic results, and you might visually appear to be getting closer sooner.
