A woman in a black sports bra and red shorts performs a lateral raise with a dumbbell. Text overlay reads "My Workout Routine for a Slim Upper Body" and lists "Back, Shoulders, Triceps" as focus areas, with arrows indicating muscle groups.
Text outlines a toning routine focusing on compound movements, including 3 upper back, 2 middle/lower back, 3 triceps, and 2-3 shoulder exercises. It also details a 20-minute HIIT pre-workout and 10 minutes of dynamic stretching, mentioning an ab workout in the description.
This image explains that excess arm fat results from calorie surplus, influenced by genetics and hormones. It emphasizes that spot reduction is a myth and total body fat loss through a calorie deficit (300-500 daily) is crucial for reducing arm fat.
