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.

BORN DAY!!!!!

Today, I celebrate the life of my new baby who was born today October 29, 2013... MY BLOG!!!! I'm so excited!!! This is something that I have been contemplating for years and now I've finally decided to allow the world to follow me on my personal weight loss and healthy lifestyle journey... It has been a very tough and long journey for me, I've decided to stop hiding and share with others who are also going through the struggle of losing weight, or hating to exercise, eating healthy and sometimes even gaining a few pounds back when they have lost the weight... It is an emotional roller coaster for most of us and I want to be here for those who feel that they are out here alone and just to let them know that they are not. You may also help me in ways that you don't even know... So let's get it!!! Down Size it!!!
