Are you tired of feeling like jelly in your skirt? Did you get rid of all your short sleeved dresses because your arms were just too wobbly? Well there is still hope for you as long as you're willing to work for it.
I spent all my money on thigh firming creams and on slimming belts but nothing happened. That's when I decided to do things the old fashion way; work out. I wish there was a pill to swallow that is equivalent to 20 minutes of cardio but there's none.
You do need to realize that it's the fat deposits underneath your skin is what's causing all your problems. As long as your lifestyle remains the same, all the exercise in the world won't make a difference.
By now I believe the amount of fat in your body is actually more than enough. This means that you should reduce your fat intake as much as you can without cutting it out completely. You should also avoid taking carbohydrates in the later part of the day.
Your body will not burn any fat until it has first of all burnt all the carbohydrates and glycogen stored in your body. For this very reason, you should also not eat before a workout. Your major focus should be burning down your fat storage and building more muscles. It is these muscles that will give your body a much more firm look. First things first, modify your diet. Your food should be rich in proteins that'll facilitate the formation of new muscle tissues.
Carbohydrates will give you the energy you require when you start working out but as I said earlier, watch your carbohydrate intake. Your fat intake should be highly minimized but not entirely neglected. Try having some nice chicken roast and not deep fried drum sticks. Drink plenty of water to aid in your digestion, waste removal and to regulate your temperature.
Now that you know what to eat, it's now time to pull out your gym shoes. There are exercises that concentrate on a specific muscle group. For firm arms, your exercise will be different from those done to get a firm ass and thighs.
Squats are a good exercise for working out your ass and thighs. With your feet apart, and a barbell on the rear part of your shoulders, bend your knees and go all the way down. You can make this exercise more effective by slowing down your upward and downward motion. This removes the advantage created by motion and the only thing you have working for you is your muscles. The leg press, leg curl, hip abduction and adduction are also good examples of exercises that can firm your thighs within no time.
Weights go a long way in firming your arms. Just simple lifts can go a long way in putting your arms back in place. However, the arms are the easiest part of the body to over train, leading to injury. This is because nearly all other exercises involve the arm muscles to a certain degree.
