Can doing push-ups regularly help you lose weight in your arms?

Nowadays, people like sports more and more, and try almost all kinds of sports, especially push-ups, which have been well received by many people. Because push-ups can effectively exercise a person's muscles and the strength of arms and legs, people especially like to do push-ups. So, can push-ups help you lose weight in your arms? Next, please see the detailed information for analysis.

In fact, the loose skin and excess fat on the back of the upper arms are mainly caused by the accumulation of fat due to insufficient use of the triceps. Therefore, strength training is the first priority to get rid of "bat wings". For female friends who lack strength, “standing” push-ups are very suitable for them to “slim down” their arms.

First, find a wall, stand at attention facing it, with your body about an arm's length away from the wall, stretch your arms straight but not higher than your shoulders, and open your palms and press them against the wall. Note that in order to maintain pressure on the elbow joint, the arm should not be fully extended and the elbow joint should not be completely locked. Then, lift your heels, tilt your body toward the wall, slowly bend your elbows, and try to keep your arms close to your body. Stop when your elbows are bent close to 90 degrees. Use your triceps to push the wall and slowly return your body to the starting position. Your arms should not be able to separate to the sides. Do 20 reps per set, 3-4 sets each time. Your muscles should feel sore after exercise.

The key to doing the above movements is to keep your heels off the ground, keep your body's center of gravity pressed toward the wall, and your arms should play a major supporting role throughout the process.

Of course, exercising the triceps is only the first step, and it must be combined with aerobic training such as brisk walking and jogging. During strength training, fat has been metabolized by the body into a free state. Only by adding aerobic exercise can the body be forced to use fat as an energy system to consume excess fat.

The above is the answer to the question that people are very concerned about: whether doing push-ups can effectively reduce arm size. From the above materials, we can know that push-ups can help people lose weight in their arms, and girls don’t have to worry about the appearance of muscles when doing push-ups.
