6 easy exercises to get rid of flabby arms

If you have saggy arms and don’t feel comfortable wearing sleeveless shirts, then you’re not alone. That part of the arms that moves is called the triceps. The triceps are the large muscles at the back of the upper limb and are primarily responsible for straightening the arms.

There are two main causes of flabby arms , the first is age and the second is body fat.

As we age, our skin becomes looser as it loses its elasticity. This is especially noticeable on the top of our hands. The problem is that there is not much we can do about it.

In addition to proper nutrition, you also have to tone your muscles by doing resistance exercises.

These exercises can be done at home, and some of them require 1-2kg hand weights (dumbbells) or heavier if desired.

Let us see these simple exercises to get rid of flabby arms:
