Shall we get rid of our bat wings together?

I don't know who came up with it, but apparently, the jiggly fat on the back of the upper arms is called "furisode-niku" (kimono sleeve fat)😨

When you spread your arms out, it does kind of look like a kimono sleeve.

Don't you usually notice this fat when you wear puff sleeves?

Oh no! The puff sleeves are bursting at the seams😨

I think most people give up on sleeveless or puff-sleeve tops at this point and choose three-quarter sleeves or tops with wide cuffs. I know I do.

However, about two weeks ago, "Asa-Ichi" introduced an exercise to tone the upper arms in two weeks.

I'll share it as far as I can remember.

If you have any pain in your arms or shoulders, please consult your doctor before trying this.

First, the initial exercise.
Put both hands behind your back, palms facing up and clasp them together.

While keeping your face tilted up as if looking diagonally upward,
lift your arms while keeping them straight.

Stop at a comfortable position and hold for 30 seconds while looking diagonally upward.

Next, unclasp your hands, keep your arms straight, and

twirl your wrists around for 30 seconds.

Finally, make both hands into fists and
bend and straighten your elbows 10 times.

Keep your hands positioned behind your torso.

Doing these three exercises in 3 sets every day for two weeks is said to make your upper arms slimmer.

The way the upper arms of the person who actually did it on Asa-Ichi tightened up,

"Oh, it's really toning up"

that feeling was so real and great🙌
It also improves rounded shoulders, so your posture will become more beautiful too.

So, I tried it that day, but...

I had forgotten about it until I thought about writing this post today💦

I thought that by posting on note, I could practice every day, so I reached out to everyone to join me in getting rid of bat wings.

How about it? Won't you join me starting today?

Oh, and there are a few things I thought were important to keep in mind for these three exercises, so let me write those down as well.

Do not tense your shoulders.
Never look down.

If you keep your shoulders relaxed and look upward, the back of your neck won't contract more than necessary,

which increases the effectiveness for your upper arms and shoulder blades.
For the sake of having upper arms that can happily enjoy puff sleeves,

won't you join me in doing exercises that won't leave us huffing and puffing?

Let's achieve beautiful arms and posture with gentle exercise.😊
