Swinging off the Mighty Mouse

I had always wanted to have slimmer upper arm.
After I played badminton since April 2007, my arms muscle toned up but also had made my it looks gigantic. I had then stopped badminton for a while.
I practice yoga since end May 2007 and had heard compliments from my colleagues saying I have nicer body (but co-incidentally were during the days I wore my blouse and pants with vertical lines.)
So I even signed up for social dance class which I go once a week, an hour a day. It didn't help much since I don't have anyone to practise with me after class. One hour in the air-conditioned room didn't make me sweat.

When I start my new job after CNY, got to miss those badminton games, yoga and social dance classes. Thinking of going swimming more regularly after this. I don't really swim but dancing in the pool. (Hahaa...)

A Cure for Upper Arm Flab

By:
David Kirsch

Question :

I have flabby upper arms. How can I slim them down?

Answer :

Flabby upper arms are a common problem among many of my female clients. In my book Sound Mind, Sound Body, I discuss a couple of routines that will focus on both the biceps and triceps from all different directions. One of my favorite routines consists of the three exercises described below. Do them in the following order, with no rest in between each exercise.

1. Shadow Boxing: Do 20 repetitions of each of the following moves with three-pound dumbbells.

• Crossovers: Punch across your body and parallel to the floor
• Uppercuts: Punch up toward your jaw with the underside of your fists facing the ceiling
• Hooks: Punch across your body in a hooking motion, parallel to the floor, as if you were trying to hit someone on the side of the jaw

2. David's Push up Deluxe: Do 10 to 15 push ups in each of the following positions.

• Place your hands just slightly wider than shoulder width
• Place your hands just narrower than shoulder width with your elbows in at your sides
• Place your hands close together with your fingers pointed toward each other and your forefingers and thumbs forming a triangle

3. Reverse Walking Crabs: Sit on the floor and place your hands behind you with your fingers pointed toward your butt. Lift your butt off the ground and shift onto your heels. Maintain this position and keep your abdominal tight as you take four steps forward. Then do 10 reverse push ups by bending and then extending your arms. Repeat this exercise four times.
