Things You'll Need:
- Free weights
- Self-tanner
-
Step 1
Tone your upper arms with daily exercise. A set of free weights is all you need to focus on slimming the biceps and triceps. Perform exercises, such as bicep curls, triceps curls, triceps extensions and push ups.
-
Step 2
Keep your diet free of fatty foods. Include a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and switch to low-fat salad dressings. Since the upper arm holds excess fat, the less fat in your diet the better.
-
Step 3
Apply self-tanner according to package directions. After the first layer dries, apply a second layer to your upper arms, using circular motions. This helps give the appearance of slimmer arms and works well if you need a quick fix for a wedding or party.
-
Step 4
Talk to a doctor about a brachioplasty, otherwise known as an arm lift. This procedure removes saggy skin from excessive weight loss or age, and it's a permanent solution for slimming the upper arms.
-
Step 5
Practice yoga and Pilates on a regular basis. Both yoga and Pilates help stretch and strengthen muscle and tissue. By lengthening your arms through Pilates and strengthening them through yoga, your arms gradually slim down.
