The depressing battle of the batwings and how to get rid of them


Has anyone other than myself lift up their arms and had that little flabby skin as which they call "Batwings"?... Well, for most women it is a major issue, especially for those of us who have lost a large amount of weight and didn't incorporate enough weight training into our workouts while losing the weight. No woman wants flabby, unaesthetic arms. I found a 12 week program for toning the arms, which I will be adding to my already clean eating and workout routine with Shaun T.. T25 that is.. 

This routine will hopefully help me to tone and build muscles so that when the summer comes I will be able to flex and wear my tank top without a cover up. Something I have been wanting to do for years but too ashamed of my arms to do so. I am very determined to have me some very toned and sexy arms. How about you?




I found this routine on www.muscleandstrength.com


  • Weeks 1 to 4 - Lower Volume, 6 to 10 rep sets.
  • Weeks 5 to 8 - Higher Volume, 10 to 15 rep sets.
  • Weeks 9 to 12 - Rest-pause focus.
Lower Volume Workouts. During this time you be performing the hardest arm building exercises. The focus will be on doing as many reps per set as possible while keeping good form. Do not train to failure!
Higher Volume Workouts. Workouts will feature lighter isolation exercises, but a lot of sets and sets. It will be a dramatic contrast to weeks one to four.
Rest-Pause Workouts. These workouts will be brief, but physically intense. You will be resting exactly 20 seconds between each set. Use the same weight for each set of a given exercise.
Please note that this arm program can be broken up into 3 separate arm workouts, which could be run with nearly any training split.
If you do follow the program as written, make sure to take one week of rest before starting it again.

Flirty Girls 10 Reasons To Work Out in The Mornings

10 Reasons to Workout in the Morning     It can be challenging to make the time to exercise. But exercising in the morning is a wonderful way to create a positive routine and provides many added benefits beyond just keeping you fit.   1. Burn FAT instead of calories Get up, get a glass of water, and workout. No breakfast, no small bite beforehand. Do not take in a single calorie until you do cardio first. The reasoning behind this is when you exercise without eating, your body needs to tap into something for energy. Your body's first source of energy is glycogen but since this was depleted overnight your body must burn unwanted FAT to get you through your workout.   2. Better long-term results Over 90% of people who exercise *consistently*, exercise in the morning. Our bodies love routine. If you force yourself to get up when your alarm goes off, your body will thank you and pay you back.   Extra perk: People who exercise regularly earn 9% more income than people who don't.   3

Gotta Get Some Shut Eye

Have you ever had a day where it just feels like 24 hours isn't enough?. By the time you realize it, it's 1 o'clock in the morning and you have to get back up in 4 hours. Well, that was my day yesterday and it showed in my personal training session today. My trainer actually could tell in my workout that I didn't get any sleep and man did I feel it. I had no energy and I felt sluggish but I did the best that I could, which wasn't good enough. I went out after work to eat with friends and to see the movie "The Best Man Holiday" , which by the way is a must see for those who have not seen it yet. I loved it!!!... By the time I made it home and got myself together for bed, it was about 1:30a and I was back up @5am trying to get to my training session @ 6:30am and still ended up getting there 15 minutes late. An average adult needs between 7-9 hours of sleep every night, even though some of us can function off of 4-6 hours of sleep, eventually it will catch
