Thousands of women over 40 (and younger) face the problem of sagging hands. This is not only uncomfortable, but also makes you less attractive, lowering your self-esteem. Some even stop wearing short sleeves!
Even if you have a perfectly shaped figure, flabby arms can spoil the whole impression. It is no wonder that this problem worries many women!
How to get rid of flabby hands?
Your arms can look perfect at any age, but you'll have to lose fat and tone your muscles. The best way to do this is regular workouts for biceps and triceps. Flabby hands are mainly due to, firstly, the skin loses its elasticity with age, and, secondly, fat begins to be deposited when overweight.
Fortunately, there are now many ways to get rid of underarm fat. The best of them is the combination of a healthy and balanced diet with several types of exercise. Consult with a specialist to learn about the diet that suits you best.
In the meantime, here is a great selection of hand exercises that will help you achieve amazing results!
