As you already know, I usually write about general weight loss topics, but today let's focus on a specific problem area that bothers many women - their arms.
Personally, this problem arose for me when I became pregnant. And this continued until the day when I saw a gorgeous sleeveless dress in a store, but could not buy it only because the fat made my arms look terrible in it. And then I decided that I had enough.
I can proudly say that today I have gotten rid of this problem and now I have the opportunity to wear revealing clothes again.
And if you want this too, I'm sure I'll be able to help you with this challenge.
Hand exercises
To keep your hands elastic and smooth, you can perform completely simple exercises at home. Such easy exercises will be useful for any woman.
Biceps
You will need dumbbells. Stand straight, feet shoulder-width apart, back straight. Taking dumbbells in your hands, alternately raise your arms bent at the elbows, almost touching the dumbbells to your shoulder. 20 times for each hand.
Triceps
If a woman has loose skin on her arms, this exercise will help tighten it. Sit on the edge of a low sofa or bench, placing your arms slightly bent at the elbows on your sides. Leaning on your hands, rise from the sofa, but instead of sitting back, go around the edge of the sofa and “hang” just below the level of the furniture, hold only on bent arms and linger in this position for a few seconds. Control your breathing. 20 times.
Push ups
Standing on the carpet, using your bent legs (crossed at the ankles) and outstretched arms as support, lower your chest towards the floor, keeping your back straight. Then bend your elbows, lowering yourself slightly, hold in this position and repeat the exercise again.
Dumbbell Cross Raises
How to increase the width of your biceps? It is enough to slightly change the technique of the popular hammer exercise to shift the load. To do this, you need to lift the dumbbells not straight up, but up diagonally - towards the solar plexus.
Technique
- Hold dumbbells in your hands with a neutral grip: palms facing your body.
- As you inhale, lift the right dumbbell diagonally towards your solar plexus.
- Pause at the top and, as you exhale, slowly return the dumbbell to its starting position.
- Repeat the same with the other hand.
How to deal with rough elbows?
Mix salt and soda in equal proportions, adding a little water. Apply the resulting mask to your elbows (although it can also be applied to your face, the main thing is to not have too dry skin). After waiting 10 minutes, rinse off. This is an ideal peeling for elbows that will brighten them and make them more tender. Then lubricate your elbows with moisturizer, and at night you can lubricate your elbows with Vaseline.
History of "CS:GO"
As many people know, “Counter-Strike” was originally a mod for the game “Half-Life”. It was created by the developers Mel Lee Mil Le (aka Goose Man) and Cliff. Together they create the first beta version of the game, which attracts millions of players. Soon they also became interested in them, giving the game the opportunity to develop. After some time, a full version 1.6 appeared on the network. Although it is already more than 10 years old, this part is still a relevant discipline in eSports.
The next game in the series is Counter-Strike: Source. As in version 1.6, the game featured missions to rescue hostages, plant a bomb, and neutralize enemies. Over time, the game began to improve: graphics, gameplay and special effects improved. Now the new version is “CS: GO”, which is currently used for championships. Although the series is new, its engine and principle remain unchanged.
How to make your hands beautiful?
An important aspect in achieving beautiful hands is proper skin nutrition and hydration. You need to devote enough time to these procedures and the effect will not be long in coming.
Nutrition
Nourishment for your hands should consist, first of all, of eating the “right” food and using nourishing creams suitable for your skin type.
Take a few strawberries and, after mashing them, mix them with a tablespoon of sour cream. Add a little olive oil and apply to your hands for 25 minutes. Rinse off with cool water.
Hydration
Hands, especially in winter, need to be moisturized. For this purpose, creams based on glycerin, essential oils, and natural extracts are used. Apply the cream at least once a day. Don't forget to put on gloves before you start doing household chores.
Gymnastics for arms and hands
Light gymnastics is especially useful for tired hands and joints that lose flexibility. It should take 3 to 5 minutes to do.
So, to make your hands beautiful, you need:
Count calories
You need to reduce your daily calorie intake. Every day you should keep a count of the food you eat. However, I personally think that you should be more focused on the quality of the foods you eat rather than the quantity.
Drink water
Did you know that 75% of the mass of your hands is water? And the rest is made up of muscles. If you want to make your hands beautiful, you need to focus on proper consumption of clean water. You should drink eight to twelve glasses of purified water every day. When you drink water, it also helps you flush out accumulated toxins from your body.
Exercise stress
Did you know that getting physical activity is a very important moment in order to quickly get rid of extra pounds and make your hands beautiful. You can find on our resource many different types of exercises that you will have to do. The only thing is, make sure you choose ones that are designed for your gender.
Proper nutrition
To get thin arms, you need to make sure that your diet is healthy and nutritious. You should consume plenty of proteins (fish, lean meats) and good carbohydrates (vegetables and fruits). The carbohydrates, fats, proteins and vitamins you eat every day should be balanced.
5. Cosmetic surgery
This should be your very last option to make your hands beautiful as this procedure is painful and costs a lot of money, but the choice is yours. However, if you have lost a lot of excess weight and have stretch marks and sagging skin on your arms, perhaps turning to surgeons would be a fair decision.
Biologically active additives
Herbal supplements can be a good idea as long as you get them after consulting a good homeopath who can tell you which ones will actually benefit you. There are many supplements (dietary supplements) that will help you lose weight and make your hands beautiful. But if you start combining supplements and exercise, you'll see results even faster.
Gymnastics for arms
Many people sit at a desk or computer for long periods of time. If you want to use this method, you need to do hand exercises every hour. By doing this, you will contribute to the rapid elimination of arm fat, as well as improving blood circulation in the vessels.
Dancing
Would you believe me if I told you that dancing for 30 minutes every day will help you get beautiful hands? When you dance, you actively move your arms without even realizing it.
For more details, see the article: “Will dancing help you lose excess weight?”
Walking
Try to set aside time every day for a long walk. Yes, the walking itself does not directly target the arm area, but you need to work every part of your body in order to get rid of fat. Cardiovascular exercises like walking are your best choice.
Weights
When you are walking or running, you could use weights to improve efficiency, which can also be used as an additional load during active arm movements to make them more beautiful.
For more details, see the article: “Are leg weights effective?”
Children's toy "yo-yo"
In my opinion, “yo-yo” is one of the best ways to get rid of extra pounds in your arms and make them beautiful. I understand that this may not sound serious to you, but it really works. In fact, it will also help you develop your arm muscles.
Confidence
To quickly build graceful and beautiful hands, first of all, you must really want it badly. And once you make that decision, rest assured, you will win. And this inner confidence will not let you down.
Nail care
Dissolve 1 tablespoon of sea salt in 0.5 liters of warm water. After holding your hands in salt water for 20 minutes, wipe them dry and lubricate them with hand cream. This bath will help prevent sweaty hands and brittle nails.
To avoid brittle nails, lubricate them with lemon juice. You can simply cut off a slice of lemon and thoroughly lubricate the nail plate with it.

Taking care of the skin of your hands and nails
Beautiful hands are impossible without beautiful, smooth and well-groomed skin. Most women diligently take care of their facial skin, but they often forget about their hands. The skin of the hands also needs nutrition and care, and not only the hands, but the entire hand. At a minimum, you should use a moisturizing or nourishing hand cream daily. It should be applied at night, and during the day you can lightly lubricate your hands. Once a week it will be useful to use a scrub to cleanse and renew the skin.
If there is too much hair growing on your arms, it can look unsightly and untidy, so it is advisable to get rid of the hair. But under no circumstances should you shave your arms. After shaving, the hairs will become coarser and darker, and on the delicate skin of the hand this will be very noticeable.
A starch bath will relieve your hands from dryness and roughness; you need to take 1 tsp. starch per liter of water.
It is very important not to forget about the skin on your elbows. Often women do not pay enough attention to this area, and the skin becomes rough and dry. For these areas, belongings should be used more often than for the rest of the hand and moisturizer should be regularly applied.
Rules for a neat manicure
It is impossible to imagine beautiful hands without a beautiful manicure. We will not talk about different types of nail decoration, but rather remember the simple rules for caring for your nails. The first rule of neat nails is no peeling polish. Nails should be smooth and neat; to do this, they must be systematically smoothed with a nail file. If your nails are too long and you want to make them shorter, you can first trim them with scissors and then file them with a nail file.
You need to cut your nails with special nail scissors. It is better to choose a glass file or one coated with sandpaper chips. Metal files that are too hard can damage the nail. After filing your nails, you should wash your hands.
Nails often suffer from exposure to household chemicals, so try to wash dishes, etc. gloved.
Before applying varnish, the surface of the nail must be degreased. This can be done using a simple cotton pad moistened with nail polish remover. This way, fresh varnish will lay smoother and last longer.
Apply varnish in one or two layers, but no more. Too much polish won't last long. The top of the dried varnish can be coated with a fixative, which will make it more durable and add gloss. You shouldn’t wear nail polish for longer than 2-3 days, as it starts to peel off at the ends and looks very sloppy.
Lighten the skin of your hands
If pigment spots form on the skin of your hands, carefully read the composition of the creams used. They should include niacinamide, antioxidants, vitamins C and A. Their use will help overcome the problem.
Beautiful manicure
Manicure is something a woman simply should not leave home without. It is the presence of a manicure that speaks of well-grooming.
The procedure can be carried out in the salon, or at home. Before the procedure, you need to prepare your hands. To do this, you need to thoroughly steam your fingers so that the cuticle can be easily removed. Any hand bath will work well at this stage. To prepare it, you can use various essential oils. In addition to preparing your hands, you need to have a set of special tools for manicure. At home, you can get by with sharp scissors that will remove the cuticle and a nail file to adjust the length.
After preparation, proceed to the manicure. The first step is to remove the old coating. Next, adjust the shape and length of your nails. Only after this you need to remove the cuticle. And finally apply the coating.
