The sheer number of emails I receive on how to get slim arms is insane. I firmly believe that women are more confused than ever when it comes to getting the lean and sexy arms of their dreams.

And bogus marketing claims are probably to blame here. After all, it seems that the influx of phony gadgets and sleeveless snake oil is relentless.

Thus, this FAQ should help clear up at least some portion of the slim arm confusion.

So without further ado here are 4 questions and answers on how to get slim arms:

1. How long will it take for me to get results? It all depends on the source of your arm flab. If it’s because of water retention you can see very rapid changes. If it’s because of a lot of excess fat, it could take months. And keep in mind that a lot of it depends on how much effort you put forth.

2. Should my workouts last 2 hours? The shorter the better. You see, when you exercise for a short period of time with lots of intensity, your body secretes a huge amount of arm fat burning hormones. So keep it short and hard. This is the best way to get slim arms.

3. Aren’t dips the best exercise for getting slim arms? I do not recommend that any woman do dips. They simply put too much stress on your shoulder joint. There are safer exercises that do not put your shoulders in such a precarious position.

4. Will doing 100 repetitions get me the fastest results? No. But you will feel a searing pain in your muscles! Instead, strive to do a wide variety of repetitions. You’ll get faster results with this approach because you’ll completely work your arm muscles.

Now I know that there is a lot of information out there on how to get slim arms. The key here is to not be a victim of paralysis by analysis. Try to find the best and most reliable source of information and experiment. Trial and error is sometimes the best way to learn what works best for you.
