I'm tackling a question I get all the time—how to tighten and tone those "bat wings" under your arms. This isn't just about vanity; it's about counteracting the muscle loss that naturally occurs as you age. Starting around 30, you begin losing up to 1% of muscle mass yearly due to something called anabolic resistance, and declining estrogen during perimenopause makes it even harder to maintain muscle. But here's the exciting truth—muscle loss isn't inevitable! I've seen amazing women in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s build impressive muscle. The key is understanding that you can't spot-reduce fat, but you can build muscle that creates that toned look. I'll share why compound movements beat isolation exercises, why progressive overload matters, and specific strategies for nutrition and exercise that work especially well during menopause. What you’ll learn: Why women experience muscle loss starting at age 30 and how declining estrogen during perimenopause accelerates this process The truth about "spot reduction" and why building muscle gives you that toned look How compound movements like pushups and rows give better results than isolated bicep and tricep exercises Why progressive overload and training to near-failure is critical for seeing results in your arms The importance of protein, collagen, creatine, and resistant starch for muscle building and fat loss How to determine if you're overtraining or not training hard enough Options beyond exercise if you have significant loose skin, including estrogen creams and laser treatments Love the Podcast?
