How to banish bingo wings for good

August 25, 2009

I read this important material from MSN Lifestyle! 

I know I will use this soon because like most women, I also have the same problem with my arms becoming more flabbier and flabbier each day. :-) Here it goes:

Fed up with flabby arms? Fear not, we went in search of the best ways to make them a thing of the past. 

With spring fast approaching, it will soon be time to climb into the loft and root out those strappy summer dresses. After such a long winter, this might sound like good news to some, but for those of us too ashamed to bear our flabby arms (or ‘bingo wings’ as they are sometimes called) in public, this is enough to drive us back into hibernation.

However, there is no need to panic just yet. There is plenty of time to sculpt those arms so that when the warm weather arrives, you will be dying to put them on show. After an extensive search, I’ve come up with these four sure fire ways to banish bingo wings forever. And the best part? It only takes a few minutes of work every day and you can even do some of these exercises at home.

In the gym - rowing machine
Rowing machines are a great all-rounder for toning and cardio and really work your arms into submission. Set your rowing machine for greater resistance so you reduce the number of strokes per session and work your muscles with greater intensity. For fast results, use the machine for anything between 20 to 40 minutes a day, five days a week.

In the dining room - hair dips
Sit on the edge of your bed or a sturdy chair with your palms planted on each side of your hips with your fingers hanging over the edge. Walk your feet out a little so that your hips are off the chair. Your bum should just clear the edge as you use your arms to lower yourself down.

Keeping your knees bent, lower your body until your elbows are at 90 degrees and your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Use your arms to raise yourself up and continue to raise and lower yourself 12-15 times. Do two to three sets. As this becomes easier, do the exercise with your legs straight.

In the lounge - close-hand push ups

Kneeling down on all fours on a mat, place hands down in front of you, with your thumbs and index fingers touching. Raise your legs up behind you from the knee. Make a straight line between your shoulders, hips and knees and tighten your stomach muscles. Slowly lower yourself towards the floor, aiming your chest towards your hands. Stop a few centimetres off the floor then push up again. Do between 12 and 20 reps.
