  • Hi, I am 27 years old with the weight of 65.5 kg, 158 cm height. My main problem with weight loss is flabby arms. I'm effected with this problem since teen. And I found this is not from my genetic but since teen, I tried lots of method to lose weight. Especially, I love to play skipping rope for lose weight. But, I always do on and off which I think is the main cause for my flabby arms. So, my first question here, is there any side effects we need to face if we suddenly stop practicing certain exercise. Ex :- If I practice exercise to lose Arm fat, then I stopped for a while, do this will result in gain more fats then the earlier time? My second question is, do calories control can help me to lose arm fats?

    • Hi Jenny ,

      1] calorie control will help you in losing over all fat from the body .. so basically wherever you have extra fat , you will start losing ...

      2] arm exercises - basically these exercises will help you in toning the muscles of your arm , if you leave the exercises completely , the tone will be lost and the fat might start showing up again
