That's why we've put together these effective arm workouts and tips to help you conquer those flabby arms and embrace a healthier, stronger you.

Arm Workouts to Tone and Strengthen

• Modified Push-Ups: Push-ups are a classic exercise that can do wonders for your arms and chest. To get started, place your weight on your knees and hands while facing down. Push up with your arms until they are fully extended while maintaining a straight back. Slowly lower your body until it's close to the floor and repeat. If you're up for the challenge, try standard push-ups for an extra burn.
• Triceps Dips: Say goodbye to flabby underarms with triceps dips. Position your feet on the floor a few feet away from a chair, facing away from it. Place your hands behind you on the chair's seat, fingers facing toward you. Lower your body gradually by bending your arms until your buttocks are almost touching the floor. Then, use your triceps to lift your body back up until your arms are fully extended.
• Dumbbell Diagonal Raises: Grab a dumbbell and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold your right arm straight and bring it across your body in front of you, near your left hip. Slowly lift your arm diagonally across your body until it's fully extended above your right shoulder, then lower it to your left hip and repeat. Don't forget to switch to your left arm as well.

• Dumbbell Bicep Curls: Standing with a dumbbell in each hand and your arms at your sides, perform bicep curls. Keep your palms facing up and slowly curl both arms by bending at the elbow until your biceps are fully extended. Hold for a moment before lowering the weights back to the starting position and repeating.
• Dumbbell Bent-Over Reverse Fly: For a strong and sculpted upper back and shoulders, try this exercise. Bend forward at the waist until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor, with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms straight and pointing toward the floor. Raise your arms slowly away from each other and toward the ceiling, stopping when they are even with your shoulders. Lower your arms gradually and repeat.

Tips to Keep Your Arms in Check

1. Sun Protection: Shield your skin from harmful UV rays by wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen, even on cloudy days. This helps prevent premature sagging and wrinkling of the arms due to sun damage.
2. Nutrient-Rich Diet: A balanced diet rich in antioxidants and vitamins is essential for healthy skin. Incorporate colorful fruits and vegetables like red bell peppers, pink grapefruit, and tomatoes into your meals. These foods help maintain skin tone and texture.
3. Hydration: Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin hydrated and maintains its elasticity. Dehydrated skin is more prone to sagging and wrinkles.
4. No Smoking: Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke, as smoking contributes to premature aging, reduces collagen levels, and increases skin problems.
5. Gradual Weight Loss: If you're on a weight loss journey, aim for gradual and steady progress. Sudden weight loss can result in loose skin, including flabby arms. Focus on a balanced diet and include strength training in your routine to maintain muscle mass while losing weight.
