How to lose back and arm fat?

[Anonymous]

i used to be a gymnast so I'm slim, but I also have lats and broad shoulders, but Because I stopped training a while ago, I don't have muscle instead its just a bit of fat (not that much) that sits on my lats and arms. I know I can't get rid of my broad shoulders or lats but because they're chubby it makes them look so much worse. what exercises can I do to tone them and make them skinny? I don't want to diet because I don't need to lose weight anywhere else I just want to tone up that area, it looks a bit out of proportion when I'm skinny on my bottom half and chubby on the top.

Unfortunately, the answer is weights. A lot of women think that weights make you muscley, but in fact it takes a LOT of them to do anything but get rid of fat and tone your arms. Do 3x reps of 10 of different exercises with medium weights. About 45 minutes a day and you should notice a change within about 3 weeks (provided you have a balanced diet).

thankyou! :) what kind of exercises with weights do I do for my upper back, shoulders and triceps?

Bicep curls & tricep back kicks - link

Boxing classes/body pump classes are great

(My least favourite) push ups. They are popular for a reason, I must admit.

Remember, you can't spot reduce fat, so do full body workouts. If after 6 weeks you're not getting the results you want, change up your workout and your diet.

muscleandstrength.com can guide you.

And what's so unfortunate about lifting weights? Weight training is great for men and women.

Although I find them rewarding, I find weights horribly boring. I prefer high cardio workouts.
