Are You Hoping to Lose Arm Fat Fast or Are Your Upper Bodily Variances Increasing Stress Levels?
Excess arm fat can leave us feeling insecure, and no one wants to be called “flabby arms” or “wobbly arms”. While I know these terms are often used by insensitive people to hurt your feelings, carrying around excess weight in your arms can have serious health repercussions that make this post’s purpose of helping you shed arm fat faster clear.
Spot reduction may seem like an unattainable goal due to billboards and social media marketing campaigns, leading people to believe they can achieve flat, lean tummies simply by performing certain number of crunches daily. Some also end up spending thousands in diet programs or 10-minute fat burners that do not deliver on their promises.
No secret exists; spot reduction does not exist as advertised by internet marketers. Any significant reduction of fat in one area of your body will only come through an increase in overall fitness levels; so don’t entertain thoughts of replacing flab in certain parts of your body with muscle without working out your entire body first.
As evidence for my argument, I will discuss an experiment conducted by Chilean researchers. They conducted this test by making seven men and four women aged 19-25 train on their nondominant leg for 12 weeks straight; participants attending gym 3 times weekly.
Before beginning this experiment, several key fitness parameters like body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), lean mass, fat mass and percentage were measured and recorded.
At the conclusion of their 12-week training program for non-dominant legs, researchers observed a modest reduction in fat mass but no discernable change to targeted areas. Therefore, strengthening those body parts was confirmed as helping and speeding up overall fat loss.
How can one lose arm fat safely and simply through increasing overall fitness levels?
1) Add protein-rich foods to your diet
To maintain optimal muscle and fat balance, it is essential that we consume at least 0.36 grams per pound of bodyweight – for an average American male weighing 200 pounds this equates to 70 grams of lean protein each day. Otherwise, muscle loss will occur and ultimately a build-up of fat in areas like arms, thighs, hips (common among women), abdomen, face etc will ensue.
2) Include Strength Training in Your Fitness Routine
Strength training is a form of exercise which employs resistance in the form of weights or elastic bands to induce muscular contraction and strengthen muscles. Its goal is to build up strength, increase muscle mass, reduce fat mass, improve posture and build up resilience – whether weight lifting or resistance band training is chosen, the results will always be positive and you should expect significant weight loss quickly.
3) Eat More Vegetables
Not only are vegetables an excellent source of dietary fiber, they have also been known to promote feelings of fullness. Think back on the last time you ate an entire bowl of broccoli: did it leave you feeling satisfied and full?
Vegetables contain the same number of calories as other carb-heavy foods like burgers, sandwiches, pasta and bacon. By increasing vegetable consumption you won’t run short on energy for your body to burn off.
4) Ditch Old Sedentary Habits
To successfully lose arm fat quickly, make sure that you combine sedentary activities such as watching television, talking with friends, napping, lounging etc with physical activities such as hiking and yoga to reduce sitting time and increase physical activity levels.
Set yourself the goal of walking a certain number of steps each day. Wear the latest sports watches to track this and every time you sit down to watch TV or play video games set a timer to remind yourself to stop after several minutes have elapsed.
5) Get enough rest
Sleep and weight loss go hand-in-hand; multiple studies demonstrate this relationship. Sleep helps the human body shed calories by 120-150 per night of sound sleep – so do not cut corners here! Sleep should not be sacrificed when trying to lose weight! So make sure not to compromise when it comes to restful nightly slumber.
Your brain also releases growth hormone during one phase of sleep, stimulating internal organ growth, lipolysis, immune system functioning and increasing muscle mass – so make sure you get at least 6-8 hours of restful slumber each night!
6) Run at least twice weekly Are you curious as to how running can help you quickly shed arm fat? Consider all of the calories burned through yoga, walking, and weightlifting activities and compare that with running’s ability to quickly burn calories off. Running can help your body reach weight loss faster – don’t go all-out by running 10k marathons each weekend though! Just run 6-8 km every week until you reach your weight loss goal quickly – two sessions should suffice.
7) Non-Surgical Fat Reduction as a Last Resort
If non-invasive fat reduction strategies fail, liposuction shouldn’t be seen as your only last-ditch effort to lose arm fat fast. There are various non-surgical fat reduction treatments that could work. A non-surgical fat reduction technique involves getting rid of subcutaneous fat pockets connecting skin and muscle underneath, using various techniques that remove them without cutting into muscle or having surgery performed on them.
Cryolipolysis, more commonly known by its acronym CoolSculpting, is one such noninvasive and painless treatment option to target fat cells by cooling them to an acceptable degree.
In this procedure, a medical professional will apply a vacuum applicator for approximately an hour to your arm. Other than slight cold and numb sensations on your arm, you won’t feel anything during this non-invasive treatment plan specifically created to address excess fat accumulation on a specific part of your body.
Conclusion
Anyone suffering from fat accumulation on certain areas of their bodies understandably wants easy and pain-free ways to reduce it quickly. Unfortunately, proven studies show that diet plans or 10-minute abs routines do not work. For a faster solution you could try one of the methods mentioned here or opt for non-surgical fat reduction techniques as last resorts.
