10 ways to beat bingo wings: Part 3
Beat bingo wings: Go walking
Don't think that walking is just good for your legs, if you swing your arms while you walk you'll firm up and burn more calories. But you have to walk briskly and for at least 20 mins to get your heart rate up. After about 20 mins your body starts to burn fat, so try to keep going for another 5 or 10 mins.

Beat bingo wings: Get some wrist weights
Just wearing light weights on your wrists while doing the housework will help tone up the arms and burn fat. Your muscles will have to work harder because they are carrying extra weight and you'll burn more calories this way too.
There are lots of varieties, start with 1lb or 2lb weights. Visit www.amazon.co.uk where you can find wrist weights for under a tenner.
Beat bingo wings: Get exfoliating
Sluggish circulation won't help your bingo wings, so use a body scrub every morning and night. Be vigorous and rub in small circular movements, starting at the wrists and moving up to the shoulders. You'll also get softer skin.
Beat bingo wings: Clever dressing
If you haven't got time to firm up your arms then cheat! There are lots of tops that can hide the your bingo wings. Puffy sleeves can be deceptive; frills and pin-tucks at the shoulders are also good. If you want a strappy top go for thick straps rather than spaghetti straps because a thin strap will make your shoulders and arms look bigger, whereas thick straps will make your arms look in proportion. The same rule applies for a halter-neck too, as this makes your arms stand out.
