Fine Finish

By Nawaz Modi Singhania

Okay, so you’ve invested a great deal of time and effort on your fitness regime and are quite gung-ho about your body.

/photo.cms?msid=37872449 But you’re not all there till you have fine-tuned your jiggles. Take a good look at some of the bodily parts you would like to set slightly straight, and how you can get it done.

BAT WINGS (SAGGY TRICEPS)
The back of the upper arm is a problem area for many women. You may be slim and fit, but still find this area needs a lift. Referred to as bye-bye arms, for reasons quite obvious, the tricep kickback is a great quick exercise to reverse this problem.

You can to do it with a resistance tube called the X-er tube, but the same can be done with light weights, too. Positioned as demonstrated, the tricep muscle works when the arm is straightened out against resistance. Bend and straighten the arms in this position, while making a special attempt at tightening the back of the arm every time you straighten it out.

POT BELLY
Slim yet pot-bellied? Get a tummy tuck, non-surgically that is, with these tips:

* Eat mini meals right through the day at regular intervals of two to three hours. Avoid eating two to three large meals a day with no snacking in between. You do want to be able to see your feet when you are standing!

* Trash the toxins by drinking at least seven to eight glasses of water a day. Toxins add to your body weight, so guzzle up if you want to eliminate water retention and keep your waist slender.

* Bid sugar and oil a great farewell. You can do without them. Instead, load up on fresh fruits and raw veggies.

* Cut out the aerated drinks and alcohol. Stick to red wine, if you must drink.

* Get your sneakers on and do a cardiovascular workout for about 35 to 40 minutes, at least thrice a week. Gradually up that to six times a week as you get more fit.

* Don’t OD on abdominal workouts — the area under the bellywill protrude, look bulky and highly unflattering.
