Bingo wings

[greenishfing]

I have noticed this year that with all the hard work down at the allotment my arms (and legs) are getting quite muscular (for a not so young woman)

Decent biceps but how can I get rid of the bingo wings, preferably by doing something constructive.

I can't be doing with a gym, all that effort no actual productive result. You'd think they would connect all the cycles and other machines to electricity generators.

Mental note to self, dont pick a fight with Greenishfing.

I've a feeling this thread is soon going to be wayward, so I'm going to jump in with sensible requested advice before it all goes awry just after wine o'clock:

Best Tricep Exercises For Women

If you don't have weights, use plastic bottles full of sand/water/ wet sand

Sorry to say, there is no such thing as spot reduction with regards to losing bingo wings.

Will be a case of full body fat drop via diet.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Oh I lie. There's liposuction. But that's the only other way.

Sadly this won't be massively beneficial. The amount of muscle mass a natural female can produce is quite low. (EDIT - yes women can build a large amount of muscle compared to "normal" but the weights used will be more than a few bottles of water....and more than your average male to boot lol)

Also note that the hormonal levels actually have a massive effect on where people store body mass. Most men often hold around lower back, women butt, hips, breasts , latissimus and arms.

This is beside the point tho.

Stop going to Bingo? I haven't had a drop yet honest TS

Tricky one!

There's the issue of muscle tone, skin elasticity, and of course there's .... errmmm .... calorific storage











How about duct tape?

I had to goggle images of Bingo wings - I thought it was something from the Chinese takeaway

I think I'll go with duct tape. I'm not overweight; since I've taken over most of the heavy work from my hubby in the last 18 months (due to illness) all the raking, digging, hoeing, weeding etc,etc required for 2 allotments has slowly dropped me 2 dress sizes and turned fat to muscle (back to a size 12). Unfortunately I can't turn back time as well.

I weight trained during my 20s & 30s, and I still seem to retain good muscle tone underneath the middle aged lardiness on triceps and thighs.
I can tone up my triceps pretty quickly with those exercises in my link above, using a 1 kg dumbell, and swapping chocky for salad

More digging, wheelbarrowing, weeding etc.
Wear longer sleeves.

[horticultural_hobbit]

I would sooner go dig, or trundle around with a full wheelbarrow, to get a good work out. Can't be doing with going to a gym. Plus, the plot helped mama h post surgery.

Muscle memory is a glorious thing

I didn't think Bingowings were loss of muscle, just empty skin!if you must exercise, try this:
Hold arms out straight to sides, raising two potato sacks, twenty times.
Increase number daily.
After three weeks, put a potato in each one.

I do the hold onto the chair/settee and lower bum to floor and raise up. I was rubbish at first and could manage about 3 before I collapsed or a dog scooby-doo licked me in the face and put me off! I'm up to about 20-25 now and there is definitely a marked improvement as my OH noticed - without his glasses on too! So I'd definitely recommend it!!!
