6-Week Flabby Arm Workout with Weights
For most women, the battle with stubborn arm fat begins after the age of 301. This is usually brought on as a person’s metabolism slows down, or the fact that women tend to start losing muscle mass in their 30s.
The good news is it’s not all doom and gloom if you have been struggling with arm jiggle. This 6-week flabby arm workout with weights will help you build muscle and burn fat so your arms look more defined.
Choosing the right dumbbells
The dumbbell weights you will need for this arm workout will depend on your upper-body strength.
While I cannot tell you the exact weight you should use, I suggest that, as a beginner, you start with weights as low as 4 pounds for exercises like bicep curls and triceps kickbacks.
For shoulder exercises, you should aim for the lowest weights on the rack to avoid injury.
As a general strength training rule, you should start with small weights and work your way up to the next available weight as you get stronger and more confident.
