This is my problem:
I've lost 50lbs, gone from a size 14 to a 4, lost 9 INCHES from my waist, a few inches around each thigh-but the size of my arms hasn't gone down nearly as much. Now I need a size small shirt to fit my body, but I sometimes have to buy a medium for my arms. They're much more toned than they used to be-they don't really look flabby, especially considering the weight I've lost. I also carry around my child all the time, and I've noticed as his weight goes up, so does my arm size.
I'm starting to look very disproportionate. I've always been bigger in my upper body, but it's getting ridiculous. My arms actually look strange in pictures-like they don't belong with my body.
I do an hour of cardo and 45 minutes of non cardio type stuff (weights, push ups, sit ups, oblique excersises, ect.). 3-4x a week.
When I stop excersising they just get flabby and stay the same size.
Is there some type of excersize to make arms SMALLER instead of just toning up what's already there? i've tried everything I can find. I want feminine, small arms, not super-toned man arms (like Madonna's, which to me look just masculine and awful these days, lol).
Suggestions?
