Butterfly sleeves are a very ugly piece of fat. When we raise our hands in the summer, if the arm muscles are not good, there will be a lump of fat swinging back and forth on the arm, like the wings of a butterfly. This is the butterfly sleeve. The formation of the butterfly sleeve is very complicated. So do you know how the butterfly sleeve is formed? Let’s go take a look below!
How are butterfly sleeves formed?
1. Working at a desk for a long time
OLs who often sit in the office and use computers or write at their desks for a long time will cause the trapezius, deltoid and triceps muscles to be in a relaxed state for a long time. Over time, fat will accumulate in the upper arms and other places.
2. Swelling of the upper arm
Obesity on the inner side of the upper arm. In addition to fat accumulation, due to fatigue or poor rest, water will remain in the inner position, causing swelling and poor lymph circulation, thereby aggravating the "butterfly sleeves" on the upper arm.
3. Like to eat high-calorie foods
There is no doubt that high-calorie foods will increase body fat and increase arm fat. Once the "butterfly sleeves" are formed, they are not easily consumed.
4. Lack of exercise
If you often hang your arms down or rest them on the table and lack exercise, over time, your upper arms will easily accumulate fat and relax muscles due to frequent relaxation.
Tips for thinning arms:

Hold for five breaths, return your body to a straight line, then lift your body forward, then up, and then return to the original position. Hold for 30 seconds, and switch arms for another 30 seconds.
Lying on your back
This action can also be done half-lying on the edge of the bed (but it is best to have a bouncy ball). Lean your upper back on the bouncy ball and your body should be parallel to the ground. Keep your arms straight at 90 degrees to your body, and bend your knees and flatten your feet. On the ground (a) Continue to keep your arms straight and tight, and slowly lower the hands holding the dumbbells until they are horizontal to the body (b) Pause for a second, and then slowly return to the ground. The starting position is a loop.
Lunge Luggage Style
You can buy a dumbbell, place one hand on one side of the body, and bend the knee of the other front foot at 90 degrees to perform a lunge. Open the other arm to balance the body, and then start to lift the dumbbell naturally. Each time, your elbow must pass For the torso, do 12 to 15 reps on one side and then switch sides.
