Bye-Bye Bat Wings

Bye-Bye Bat Wings
Stand in front of a mirror and hold your arm outstretched
to the side of your body. While in place, rotate your arm
forward and backwards fast.

You either:

Like what you see, a tight and nicely shaped triceps area

or

To your horror, saggy skin that swings back and forth like
your grandmother's did when you were a child.

Do you have bat wings that haunt you, thinking there is
nothing you can do to rid them? If so, then this newsletter
will be a treat for you.

I'm going to reveal 3 steps you can implement to say
"goodbye bat wings" once and for all.

Bat wings don't necessarily develop with age, but age can
play a role to a certain degree.

Bat wings are a lack of muscles and excess skin hanging
under your arm when they are stretched out to each side.
It's a common problem with many women.

If you apply the tactics outlined in this article, you can
greatly reduce the amount of flapping skin hanging around
at the back of your arms.

Tactic #1

To reduce bat wings you will have to tighten up your diet
to a certain degree which can results in some overall
weight loss, too.

Eat several small, yet balanced meals throughout the day.
In doing this, you will force your body to burn more
calories and increase your metabolism. Don't take this
tactic lightly. The real key here is several balanced meals
throughout the day.

Tactic #2

With the addition of more balanced meals each day, be sure
to choose foods of quality, such as natural foods. You
should be eating the foods that Mother Nature provided. If
you are grabbing for that deli meat pasta drenched in
sauce, you are not eating quality.

Quality meals are fresh and natural, not boxed or canned,
or loaded with MSG and nitrates. Your body functions on
food, not chemicals.

Tactic #3

Adding triceps exercises 2 to 3 times a week can help build
lean muscle tissue on the back of your arms. As you lose
fat weight you will be building lean muscle mass, which
adds density. Dense muscle on the back of your arm won't
flop around.

Triceps exercises that are effective can take some time
getting accustomed to, as it may feel awkward at first,
especially if they are underdeveloped. The triceps is not a
muscle that's used every day in heavy tasks.

Some exercises you can include are:

Overhead extensions  Begin in a standing or seated
position with a bar or dumbbell extended over your head.
Bend at the elbows, allowing the weight to go behind your
head until the elbows are at a 90-degree angel, and then
press up. Be sure to keep your head up and elbows close to
your head.

Lying triceps extensions - To begin, lie down on a flat
bench and extend a bar or dumbbells over you. Bend at the
elbows and allow the bar to come down to the top of your
head, with elbows at a 90-degree angle, and then press up.
Always keep the elbows as close to your head as possible.

Dips - To begin, face away from a flat bench or chair and
place your hands behind you; just about shoulder length
apart. Extend your feet and keep your knees bent. Keep your
body close to the bench or chair and allow your body to
come down to the floor until your backside touches the
floor, and then using your triceps, press up. Contract the
triceps at the top of the movement. Keep your elbows in and
don't allow them to stray out. Always keep your head up.

Conclusion

Just because you don't go to a gym or don't want to walk in
one, you can still do these exercises. They can be done at
home as well using resistance bands or soup cans.

Lastly, if you lost a large amount of weight quickly or
didn't add resistance training during your weight loss and
have a lot of loose skin on the back of your arms, you may
have to opt for a surgical procedure (brachioplasty) to
remove large amounts of excess skin.

Be sure to implement these 3 essential tactics and then you
can say "bye-bye bat wings" once and for all. Remember that
consistency is the key in any transformation.
