The best way to reduce arms with Yoga is by practising arm exercises and Surya Namaskars (Sun Salutations). These include the following:
- Arm rotations (clockwise and anti-clockwise)
- Arm flexing at the elbows (back and forth)
- Wrist rotations (arms outstretched)
- Shoulder flexing (clockwise and anti-clockwise)
- Arm exercises in the following sequence – up, down to shoulder level, sideways and back up (clockwise and anti-clockwise)
Do these; a few rounds one after the other regularly.
Together with this, doing a few rounds of Surya Namaskars (Sun Salutations) would help not just your arms but the rest of your physique as well. All together, a Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) sequence includes 8 different Yoga postures, some repeated twice and are as follows:
Namaskar – SaluteArdha Chandrasana – Half Moon PosePadangusthasana – Hand to Foot PoseSurya darshan – Sun Sight PosePurvottanasana – Inclined PlaneAdho Mukha Svanasana – Downward Facing Dog Pose Sashtang Dandawat – Forehead, Chest, Knee to Floor PoseBhujangasana – Cobra PoseAdho Mukha Svanasana – Downward Facing Dog PoseSurya darshan – Sun Sight PosePadangusthasana – Hand to Foot PoseArdha Chandrasana – Half Moon PoseNamaskar – Salute
Surya Namaskars (Sun Salutations) is a complete exercise by itself, designed to exercise every muscle and sinew of the body comprising a set of 8 Yogasanas (postures). It is a wonderful workout that calls for just a few minutes of your time but is a great exercise routine particularly for those wishing to shed weight or lose excess flab from any part of the body. You can do it in very little space, just 3 by 8 feet, with enough room to lie down and stretch the arms above the head in standing positions.
Together with this you would also be well advised to follow a Yogic diet. You seem to be concerned only about your arms, but Yoga takes care of your whole physique, mind and heart as well. To this extent, having light, Sattvic (pure and predominantly vegetarian) meals would be very healthy for you, keep you from gaining those unnecessary pounds in any part of your body and leave you with a feeling of zest and peppiness all day through. It is also proven that people who abide by a Yogic diet enjoy good, sound sleep as well.
Steer clear of all milk products such as butter and cheeses as well as other fatty foods that are deep fried (fried chicken, French Fries, etc) and all fast / junk foods. They just make you heavy without contributing anything to your health and well being.
