What exercises to tighten sagging arms and armpits

How does sagging arms and armpits occur?

It is clear that this area does not lose elasticity in one day - this requires a certain time.
If you don't exercise and generally lead a sedentary lifestyle, you will lose muscle mass quite actively. After 35 years, we lose up to 1-2% of muscles per year, so some areas of the body (where the muscles are almost not loaded) gradually lose tone and seem to “sag”. The triceps and armpit area are the first in line in this sense, since without special exercises they are almost not involved in the work. Think about the basic range of arm movements in everyday life: these are predominantly curls and rows, which primarily engage the biceps, the front of the upper arms. The triceps is an antagonist muscle; it is involved in work mainly by extension. Which, as you understand, we practically never do in everyday life.

“Our body is designed in such a way that we lose everything we don’t use,” says Diana Ibragimova, trainer of the Fitness Territory network of clubs and author of the Instagram blog @di.fitt. — In the absence of proper training, the area of ​​the upper arms loses tone. But elastic triceps give a beautiful relief. Body composition also matters: the less fat there is in that area and the more muscle there is, the better it looks.”

However, it’s not just lack of exercise that can lead to sagging arms and armpits. “In addition to the obvious reason - low muscle tone of the arms, which can be solved by strength training - there is another,” notes Anastasia Yurkova, master trainer of the X-Fit group programs in Russia . - This reason is poor posture, for example, stooping. Due to incorrect body position, blood circulation and fluid flow in the upper extremities are disrupted. This causes swelling, sagging and even visible cellulite in the triceps and armpits.”

Laser therapy

Laser therapy in the hand area is very popular today. Using a laser, you can easily get rid of age spots that appear with age. This is another additional measure to rejuvenate your hands and give them an attractive appearance. It is usually performed at the final stage of surgical procedures or as an independent procedure. This option is competitive with conventional whitening products and allows you to achieve lasting and instant results.

To carry out laser therapy, high-precision equipment is used - an erbium or carbon dioxide laser. In this way, the surface layer of the skin, and with it wrinkles, age spots, and scars, is bloodlessly and almost painlessly “evaporated.” The laser provides low trauma and allows for quick recovery.

With the help of laser therapy, collagen fibers are reduced, which gives the additional effect of true skin tightening. In this way, not only superficial, but also deeper wrinkles are smoothed out.

The procedure does not require hospitalization or recovery period. But for some time the skin needs to be protected from the sun. Sunscreens and lotions are suitable for this. After the procedure, the skin will have a pinkish tint for some time, but will soon acquire a natural color.

What methods of arm lift are there?

There are several ways to restore the tone of your upper arms.

Surgical intervention

Plastic surgery will help tighten your arms quickly. There are three methods that are effective in solving this problem:

  • Lipoplasty – pumping out and eliminating excess fat in the arm area.
  • Liposculpture is the “modeling” of the arm silhouette by moving fatty tissue from one area to another (for example, if you don’t have enough volume in the upper arms).
  • Brachioplasty is a skin tightening operation.

Each method has its pros and cons, indications and contraindications, which should be discussed with your doctor.

Correction with cosmetic procedures

As a rule, different types of massages and lifting.

  • During a vacuum massage , negative pressure is applied to the skin, which leads to deep lymphatic drainage, stimulation of blood flow, elimination of congestion and activation of regenerative processes.
  • During ultrasonic massage, high-frequency waves “break” adipose tissue. It is believed that such an effect increases the density of collagen fibers and stimulates the synthesis of new skin cells.
  • radiofrequency peeling procedure involves exposing the skin to RF pulses, which stimulate fibroblasts to produce elastin and collagen, which improve the process of skin restructuring.
  • During laser lifting, moisture is evaporated from the skin using a laser beam. This triggers a protective reaction in the body. As a result, the damaged area is restored and cells are renewed. As a result, the skin becomes noticeably tighter and more elastic.

They all give good results, but they are not permanent and require a course approach. After one or two procedures, you most likely will not notice much effect.

Power training

This method is significantly cheaper and safer than all of the above. However, it requires a systematic approach and regular training. Let's take a closer look at it.

Causes of sagging hand skin

There are several factors that lead to loss of firmness and elasticity of the skin in the arm area:

  • Lack of physical activity, weak, untoned muscles;
  • Age-related changes in skin tissue, which will be a consequence of lack of hydration, loss of elasticity, decreased production of elastin and collagen;
  • Large volume of adipose tissue;
  • Bad heredity;
  • Dramatic weight loss, the fat layer in this case decreases quickly, and the tissues cannot shrink so quickly, so they remain hanging on the arms in the form of an unattractive bag.

There are many ways that can restore lost tone and elasticity to the hands, ranging from plastic surgery - the most drastic, to diet, physical activity, and an active lifestyle. There are also many other methods, the combined use of which will allow you to cope with this problem faster and more effectively: massage, contrast showers, drinking plenty of fluids, masks and wraps, special modeling creams, a balanced diet.

How to tighten your arms through exercise

First, get ready for long-term and complex work. If your sagging arms are associated with fat deposits, you will have to not only engage in fitness, but also adjust your nutrition plan, switching your body to fat burning mode. Here are some tips to help with this.

Secondly, if you slouch and your arms “hang” precisely because of this, be sure to include work on your posture in your training plan. “Exercises from the Pilates system will help here: swan, swimming, boat, cat, mermaid,” says Anastasia Yurkova. - You also need to add myofascial release of the upper back and stretching of the pectoral muscles. And only then include strength exercises on the muscles of the back, shoulders and triceps.”

Third, exercise regularly. For lasting results, you will have to train several times a week without breaks for vacations and holidays - if you give up classes, you will soon notice that the silhouette of your hands is “blurring” again.

Why does the skin on my hands become flabby?

Dramatic weight loss

The problem of sagging arms can occur when weight loss is more than two kilograms per week. Any rapid weight loss means that not only fat is lost, but also fluid and muscle. As a result, the fat layer rapidly decreases, and the skin does not have time to adapt to these changes.

The norm is considered to be a decrease per week of 0.5–1% of the initial weight. This allows you to stay healthy and not risk the appearance of your skin.

Lack of physical activity

Here it is worth mentioning specifically about pumping up the biceps and triceps. In the absence of physical activity on these muscles, they relax and become inactive. This causes the skin to sag and bunch up.


Whole body in 30 minutes. Effective workout at home

Poor nutrition and water imbalance

Difficulties are created by drinking an insufficient amount of water (less than one liter) and indulging in sweet, fatty and flour products rich in “simple” carbohydrates. Excess salt in the body is also dangerous.

Abuse of sun exposure

Both natural (tanning on the beach) and artificial (in a solarium). Under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, the stratum corneum thickens, pigmentation, dehydration occurs, and collagen and elastin fibers are destroyed.

What exercises will help you tighten your arms at home?

To remove sagging arms at home, you need a force load. “This can include bodyweight exercises, such as pull-ups and push-ups, as well as weighted exercises, either light or heavy, depending on your fitness level.”

Basic and isolating exercises aimed at strengthening almost the entire “upper” will help restore tone to the arms and armpits. “To do this, you need to include in the work the muscles of the arms, chest, back and back of the shoulder - triceps, rear delta,” comments Diana Ibragimova.

What exercises will be good for this? “I recommend paying special attention to static exercises with weight load on the arms: plank, push-ups, pull-ups,” says Anastasia Yurkova.

Basic exercises to strengthen this area:

  • push-ups with narrow arms;
  • reverse push-ups;
  • pull-ups;
  • upper block thrust;
  • pocket rows and triceps extensions. “They can be performed in different variations: with dumbbells, with a cable handle, while resting on the knee,” says Diana Ibragimova.

When it comes to aerobic exercise, experts recommend adding elliptical training to your schedule.

It will also be useful to do Nordic walking: it involves cardio exercise (which will help remove excess volume in the arms, if any). It also uses the triceps (of course, if the technique is correct).

Stretching of this problem area should also be practiced. “This will speed up recovery and even out muscle tone if there is an imbalance on the right and left. It will also remove stiffness of movement that may occur after strength work,” recalls Diana Ibragimova.

Hand peeling

Chemical peels, which are so popular in facial care today, are also gaining considerable popularity in hand skin care. Light peeling can not only whiten the skin of your hands, but also smooth out its wrinkled surface.

This is an excellent anti-aging product that is available to everyone. Salon peeling comes in several varieties:

  1. Acidic: Retinoic and fruit acids are used. Depending on the situation, superficial, medium or deep peeling may be required.
  2. Mechanical: mechanical devices are used. Mostly microcrystals or a rotating brush are used.
  3. Physical: ultrasound or laser, which cuts off the top layer of skin and completely renews it.

Peeling activates the production of your own collagen, the skin becomes smoother, more elastic, and its color is evened out. Peeling is usually carried out in a course. To completely get rid of the problem, several sessions will be required, the duration and features of which are determined by the doctor. To keep your hand skin toned, it is recommended to regularly conduct such courses. The optimal time for this would be autumn and spring, when the sun is not so active.

Peeling is a very effective non-surgical minipulation that does not require a recovery period and shows good results.

How often should you exercise?

A lot depends on the chosen strategy and your initial data. “For general tone, training with moderate or body weight 3-4 times a week is suitable,” says Diana Ibragimova. — When working with serious weights, this will be one or two workouts per week. It all depends on the speed of muscle recovery.”

When will the result be noticeable? “You need to train 2-3 times a week. With regular training, it is possible to significantly correct your posture in 2-3 weeks. But to tighten the muscles in this area, everyone will need their own time. If you are a beginner and haven’t trained at all, then 3-4 weeks. If you are already an experienced “fitnessist,” then it will take only 1-2 weeks before the first results,” notes Anastasia Yurkova.

We present several complexes and individual exercises that are effective for improving the tone of the arms and armpits.

Hand exercises

If a woman has flabby arms, exercises to restore their normal state should be of a strength nature (exercises with a load).

Although occasionally you can see pumped-up women with a masculine figure, this is a completely different level of preparation and effort expended. For classes you will need 1kg dumbbells. The biceps (flexors located on the front surface) and triceps (extensors on the back surface) are trained. On the inner surface of the shoulder, which sags the most, there are bundles of both muscles.

Training rules:
