Bingo Wing Workouts

The term bingo wings, comes from an observation of middle aged women playing bingo. When they had matched their numbers, they would raise their arms to indicate the same and that would reveal their flabby arms that look like wings. 

Women have shown much interest in trying to get rid of the bingo wings. Below are some exercises that can help lose those flabby arms and sculpt them into shape.

These target the arms, shoulders and chest. For this exercise, you need to place your arms in an extended manner underneath your shoulders. Lay your palms flat with fingers placing forward, legs straight and knees off the floor in a rigid plank position. Now bend your elbows out to the side, lowering yourself until your chest is just two inches off the floor. Return to your initial position and repeat 10-15 times.

This exercise targets the triceps. You will need to stand at an arm’s length from a wall with your hands against it at chest height. Keep your elbows tucked in, and lower your body towards the wall with your arms bent. Your heels should come off the floor when you start leaning towards the wall and your body should be straight. Return to original position and repeat 10-15 times.

This exercise also targets your triceps. You will need a stable chair or a bench for this so that your hands can grip it. Lift your bottom of the chair as you inch your feet forward. Your knees should be bent at a 90 degree angle and should be hip-width apart. Bend your arms and start lowering yourself with your elbows still tucked in. Return to original position and repeat 10-15 times.

For this exercise, kneel down on one knee and start kneeling forward with your left elbow raised behind you, and your arm bent at a 90 degree angle. Now straighten the elbow corresponding to the knee you are kneeling on, simultaneously raising your arm behind your head as far as you can. Bend your elbow and return to original position. Repeat this around 10 to 15 times. Switch knees and repeat in the same manner. You can carry on this exercise every day. 

Each of these exercises takes about 10 minutes. Before you get started include a 6 minute warm-up session and conclude with a 5 minute stretch to cool down. These strengthening exercises will get your flabby arms back into shape in no time.
