How To Get Rid Of Arm Flab 03/29/2011
 By Jon Benson How to get rid of arm flab is something most people deal with when trying to keep fit over 40. Fitness author Jon Benson, our guest blogger, shared this letter with me to share with you. Cheers, padre art ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Got arm flab? Know someone who does? Some women I know with a healthy sense of humor refer to it as "their wings" because their arm flab flaps when they walk or jog. It's time to get rid of your wings ladies . . . . . . and guys, listen up: You are not immune to arm flab. Even if your don't have any, the tips I'm about to give will help you build stronger arms. Before I go any further, I have to tell you about Marty Web. Marty looked like . . . well, your typical 59-year-old housewife. Actually she looked a bit worse. She was a good 80 pounds over her ideal body weight. And she had her wings . . . . . . big time wings. Loads of arm flab. That was at age 59. At age 61. . . wow. Different story. Marty transformed her body to such a degree that even I could have never guessed she was an OUNCE overweight! Her story and 52 others just like her, male and female, are in my first book -- and my best-seller Fit Over 40. I'd like you to read more about the cure for arm flab here . . . Marty replaced her "wings" with toned, beautiful arms. And you can too. She has two pages in Fit Over 40 . . . too much to cover in an email . . . but here's the basics to get you started: 1. You have to get your nutrition down pat. Most people think that the flab on their arms (or anywhere for that matter) can be solved by "turning it into muscle." This is not true folks. Fat does not turn into "anything". It is used for energy. Period. Muscle is muscle. Fat is fat. You must use low-insulin nutrition like I recommend in all my books, including Fit Over 40, to lower your body fat. For ladies, the back-of-the-arm body fat is often the last bit to go. But I promise ~~ it will go. I can go for anyone. Marty Web and dozens of other ladies in Fit Over 40 prove that in living color . . . and they share how they did it. Low-insulin nutrition means eating more protein-rich foods, foods that are not processed, and plenty of tasty veggies. But it does not mean you cannot have your pizza and burgers here and there. I do every week and my body fat is low. 2. You must train your triceps. The back of the arm is made of three muscles called the "triceps". You have a long head, a medial head and a lateral head that form the triceps muscle group. If you cannot access a gym, you can do plain-old pushups to work all three heads of the triceps. Here's a few tips. First, if you cannot do a pushup with your legs straight, start by doing them on your knees. Work up to straight-legged pushups. Second, do one third of your reps with your hands facing away from your body, one third with your hands facing toward your body (fingers pointing toward you) and the final third with your hands in the "normal" pushup position, facing the same direction as your body. This will work the various heads nicely. If you have access to a gym, see the exercises for the triceps found in my book Fit Over 40 and say good-bye to arm flab: 3. Finally, you have to have a role model. Find someone like Marty who has lost their wings and use their success to help show you how to get rid of arm flab. Put these three things together and you too will be "grounded" ~~ wingless, but with a lovely pair of arms that never jiggle and look fantastic.

A new study shows that the trend of ill-health and obesity is shifting rapidly to the poor and less educated portions of the country. The reason this is important to us all, other than a concern for our nation's health as a whole, is the economic strain this will place on our already burdened health care system. By the year 2012, if this trend increases, the middle and upper classes will be looking at massive increases in taxes to fund proposed government plans to address the problem. This is a problem that flat-out does NOT need to exist. Everyone who can afford food at 'all' can easily eat healthy and exercise. Part of the confusion is due to the fact that the billion dollar fitness industry has created a myth . . . that expensive food supplements and organic foods are mandatory for good health. While I believe in both, neither are mandatory. It's the TYPE of food, and the COMBINATION of the foods that make all the difference . . . that, and moderate calories, exercise, and proper mental disposition. This is covered in detail in the best-selling e-book, "Fit Over 40", by Jon Benson and Tom Venuto, CSCS. Get it here! In regards to the study, Dr. Janet Collins of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had this to say . . . "Populations are no longer equal in terms of experiencing health problems. Low-income populations tend to experience all the health problems we worry about at greater rates." The five states with the highest obesity rates in the 2005 consensus:
These same five states have higher rates of poverty than the national norm. Meanwhile, the five states with the lowest obesity have less poverty;
Each of these states also have more college graduates and stronger education programs. Education in health and fitness does not need to be expensive, and it certainly does not take a rocket scientist to figure it out. However, many fitness professionals and nutrition 'gurus' lend that impression. If you visit a gym today, especially in a larger city, you'll see a myriad of devices that, frankly, would give you a better workout if you tried to pick them up and move them out to the garbage dump. It can be daunting and confusing for anyone! But, this doesn't have to be the case. In fact, as so many people report in "Fit Over 40", workouts can be done in your own home that will more than satisfy the needs of most people. The same goes for nutrition. While a few people require "high-tech", expensive foods (for medical reasons usually), the vast majority of us can easily get the job done at the local grocery store. The best way to inspire change is to create change in yourself. Start there, set the example, and the word will spread. Anyone can be fit and healthy, and they can do it at ANY age, and at ANY income level above absolute poverty.
