Whether they’re called jiggly arms or batwings, having flabby arms can affect a person’s self-confidence. Not being able to wear sleeveless shirts or being embarrassed to wear a tight-fitting shirt can also affect a person’s style. Before seeking solutions, one must be informed about some of the factors that cause unwanted arm fat. Here are some of them:

Aging

Just like with the face, aging can cause the skin in other parts of the body to sag. As the skin becomes loose, the appearance of unwanted arm fat becomes more noticeable.

Excess weight

People have different “problem areas” where their bodies store fat. Being overweight makes a person more prone to storing fat in muscly areas of the body such as the arms.

Low testosterone levels

Men and women need testosterone. However, women are more prone to having lower levels of this due to stress, eating habits, and lack of exercise. Increased estrogen expo-sure by eating red meat, consuming dairy, and taking contraceptives can also make a body more prone to storing fat around the arms. Eating the right amount of proteins and monitoring stress levels can help the body store and burn fat at the right places.

Muscle atrophy

Lack of physical activity can cause flabby arms. Lack of resistance training in the arm area can make it prone to storing unwanted fat that might contribute to jiggly arms. To burn fat in this area requires a whole body routine and spot training that might take some time.
