How can you lose fat in your arms and belly? besides eating healthy?

[girlygirl2015]

I tried in the past lifting weights but I only grew bigger and didn't lose any fat in my arms, only in my belly and legs and I used to eat healthy those days. Then I gained weight, and now I'm trying to losing it and I have, but it's very hard for me to lose fat in my arms. I'm not eating sugars or bread and I'm trying to eat as healthy and clean as possible. But what exercices could help?

No. Spot reduction is a myth. Genetics largely determine where you will lose weight first. If you want to lose fat in your arms and belly you gotta bring your weight down. Maybe you'll get lucky and those places get slimmer before your butt or thighs do.

I know is a myth, but my legs are pretty tone.

[girlygirl2015]

I was a swimmer when I was in high school, I have nice percentage of muscle. My legs are toned, my arms have muscle but with fat, also my stomach.

[Remonster]

That only means that you gain the fat in your legs last. It doesn't have anything to do with the fact that they are muscular or toned as you say.

Anyway. Why not pick up swimming again? It's one of the best cardio routines you can do for your body.

Cardio to lose fat everywhere. You can't isolate the area you want to lose fat. You can only burn fat and hope it burns where you want it to. Lifting weights is only going to make you gain muscle mass.

and what about boxing? could that help? because I always run.

[foreverxinsanity]

Anything that raises your heart rate and uses up energy. I'd advise swimming since it works out everything at once. Burn more energy. All fat is, is stored up energy.

You don't loose fat by lifting, you get muscle. To burn fat, you need low intensity cardio.

Yea you can, do pull ups and it should burn it off and as well as any cardio. You just have to keep on doing it give it about a month or 2 weeks to see results.

I don't have a lot of strenght in my arms right now

[Ulyss]

You gotta start somewhere and I believe you'll be able to do it
