loss weight...
Link | by on 2007-08-22 09:37:27
hey guys I have a question...

Is it true that when you do arm exercises like push-ups and lifting dumbbell will make your arms formed muscle or more toned.....

Because I'm a overweight person and I want to do this arm exercises, I'm trying to toned up my arms...but do I need to loss the weight first before doing arm exercises.. Because I'm afraid that the fats in my arms will become muscle...and will look bigger, I just want it to be firm.

or do I loss weight and at the same time do arm exercises to make my arms firmer(less loose skin.)


Can anyone give me some suggestion about this....

if you lift light (5- to 10-lbs) weights, you will not develop large unsightly (on a female, anyway) muscles. the girth of large muscle comes from two effects: 1) swelling and 2) bulgy muscle fiber. the muscle fiber accumulates in thick bulges as a result of micro-tears in the muscle tissue. if you are lifting light weights, this will not occur as frequently, and the newly placed muscle fibers will be much more slender than if you use heavy weights and jerk them around wildly (like so many retarded body builders i've seen at the gym).

my general advise to you is to realistically weigh (pardon the pun) the cost/benefit of all your choices. for example, if you go arm exercises, you might gain some muscle volume, but you'll also gain strength and reduce jiggly arm fat. in the low-weight range, lifting weights will give you very satisfactory results. fear not exercise, it is a healthy thing.
