Trim down your flabby arms

Yoga is the best way to tone up flabby arms. In yoga, most poses are ideal combinations of weight-training and cardio, both important for trimming down your arms. For example the simple ‘Surya Namaskar’ involves poses that pushes the upper arms and shoulders. Arm balancers, like the 'kakasana' or crow pose  are also good for the arms. They also encourage metal focus and a sense of adventure and joy. As you grow older and your metabolic rate slows down fat starts to deposit around the arms making it look ugly. To bust fat in the upper arms, we must think in terms of overall health.

 To tone upper arms and trim down fat ‘Setuasana’ or plank pose is excellent. Sit on your heels. Place your palms flat on the ground, supporting your body on the upper arms. The feet should be rested on the toe ensuring that the legs remain straight. Look ahead. Hold for a few seconds breathing normally. Repeat for a few times holding on for a count of thirty.
