Before we start, don’t expect miracles. If you have lost a lot of weight and have excessive loose skin, no exercise will get rid of it all. But what you will be doing is increasing your muscle size, meaning you’ll have less loose hanging skin. But just as important is the fact that you’ll see an improvement in your strength also. And if you add one simple accessory, you’ll lessen your belly fat as well.

All you need to do is add a stabilization ball to the routine. You may know of it as a Pilates ball. It’s simply a large rubber ball filled with air. If you do this workout on the ball, you’ll have to stabilize yourself. And that means using muscles all over your body. The arm exercises will be more difficult, but the benefits are well worth it.

The only other thing you’ll need is a couple of dumbbells weighing between 3 and 5 pounds. You’ll need one for each hand. The stabilization ball is optional and you can use a stool instead.

Sit on the ball or stool with a weight in each hand. Get yourself in a good balanced position then do the following:

Start by forming a 90 degree angle with your elbow. Your upper arm should be parallel to the floor while your lower arm with the weights in each hand should be pointing to the ceiling. Be sure you are sitting up straight so you feel a little stretch in your back as well.

Now start the exercise by lifting your upper arms straight up to the sky. If you’re on a ball, you’ll also feel some abdominal tightening because you will also be working to keep your balance. When your arms are straight up, your palms with the weights should be facing each other.

Next you want to lower the weights slowly behind your head until your elbows are bent and pointing to the ceiling. Keeping this simple motion slow is important for two reasons. First you’ll reduce the chance of injury. And second, if you’re moving too fast the weights will simply be falling and you won’t be using your muscles.

Next you will lift the weights back over your head. Again this is done slowly. Repeat this motion 10 to 12 times, take short rest, and do it again 10 to 12 times. If possible try to do three sets of 10 reps. You’ll feel a small burning in your biceps and triceps. This is good as it tells you that you are doing the exercise right and giving your muscles a proper workout.

If doing three sets seems too easy, then you need to increase the weight you are holding by a pound or two.

Do this every day and your flabby skin will soon start to be filled with muscle. But if these exercises are difficult for you, don’t be afraid to start out easier. Use less weight and work your way up. Do fewer reps or sets and again, gradually increase them. Get rid of the Pilates ball and add it later when you become stronger. If you start out too hard you may get frustrated and give up. Then obviously you won’t see any results. Just be aware that by not using the ball and lowering the amount of weight, the exercise will be easier but the results will come slowly. You will however, still get results.

These simple are exercises for women are great whether your goal is to reduce your batwings, tone your arms, or simply feel stronger.
