What are some exercises that make your shoulders more flexible?

Are there any exercises that help to lose arm fat without making shoulders broad?

  • So basically, I want to lose my arm fat but I heard that doing arm exercises will make my shoulders broader. I already have really broad shoulders so I don't want to make them any wider. I know running helps to lose fat but I only want to lose fat on my arms and nowhere else.

    areobic exercise of any kind specifically burns fat. fat cannot be lost in one specific area of the body. it is lost throughout the body at different rates it cannot be targeted specifically for one area without liposuction thats not how our bodies work. but having more muscle mass burns more fat just by being muscle. if your worried that by doing resistance training your going to look less feminine , dont. unless your shooting testosterone or other steroiods, it is impossible for a female to do anything but look like a really healthy inshape woman with resistance training. too many woman use the excuse or worry that they will look more masculine with resistence training, it cant happen without the amounts of testosterone men make. btw the best fat burning muscle making exercises are those that use the most amount of muscles, like squats ,deadlifts, bench press, and shoulder pressing in that order of effectiveness. oddly losing fat on your arms and shaping up muscles in women and just growing bigger arm muscles in men will best develope by squating (not leg presses , they use far fewer muscles) . squating causes the body to go into an anabolic state. an anabolic state is one that the body releases muscle building/fat burning hormones. the best bet would be to pick up a copy of womens muscle and fitness, find a regimen you can follow including at least 3 days a week of resistence full body training, and every other day of aerobic training. otherwise youll be in a disappointing losing battle trying to target arm fat with arm exercises, the last fat to go on the body is also the last fat to come off the body, good luck. looking good is a lifestyle not a quick fix.

In order to lose fat in your arms, you need to lose fat on your overall body. TARGET REDUCTION IS A MYTH! It just so happened that your body composition made so that most of the fat are stored in your arms. What you could do is lose fat then workout your triceps and biceps to firm your arm up so that they dont flap around.

Like other people have said, you can't target weight loss - you can only lose weight overall and where it comes from is determined by your genetics. You don't have to worry about "bulking up" from working out with weights - bulk doesn't come naturally for people who are not on steroids (especially for women), and you really have to work at it to get big muscles.

If you do exercises that target your triceps, like a simple tricep curl, it won't affect your shoulder breadth. Same thing with biceps. A simple 3 - 5 lb weight will get you started. Avoid doing exercises like rowing if you don't want to strengthen your trapezius muscles.

All you need to do is, stand up, hold your arms straight out ( like your going to flap your wings ) level with your shoulders and begin by rotating your arms in tiny circles quickly forward and then backwards, this works if you stick to it, cheers.
