Had a question come in from mortified subscriber Christine, about her bingo wings:
==========
“Hi Richard,
First of all I want to say I really enjoy your emails, really down to earth with good advice. I have a question if you don’t mind me asking?
I am 55 years old am not overweight, I weigh 9st 1lb and am 5ft 4.1/2 inches tall. I do quite a lot of walking, try to eat healthy most of the time and am generally fit and active . I am getting a bit down though about my ” bingo wings ” under my arms. I saw a photo of myself the other day and I was mortified by them. – Yuck !
The skin looks really crepey as well 🙁 Realistically, do you think specific exercises for this area would help, or is it just inevitable for my age ?
I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much
Kind regards,
Christine

Hi Christine,
I’m glad you’re enjoying the emails I try to entertain people and keep it interesting.
Regarding the bingo wings, a certain amount is inevitable, but there is usually something you can do to improve it and certainly stop it from getting any worse.
Have you lost lots of weight in the past? as this can explain it sometimes. (update: she replied with a yes to that one, she’s lost 21lbs this year).
The muscles will respond to exercise for sure. Plus health willing, and presuming you don’t have any medical conditions, tricep and shoulder work will help, something like a 1/2 press up would be good.
If you want to follow specifically designed workouts, you would benefit from joining the online academy where I have 36 short workouts which progress you slowly, and safely, from total beginner level to getting fit and toned arms.
Keep up the good work. Richard

As I suggested above, bingo wings can be caused by losing LOTS of weight, like 4-5 stone (60lbs), or more.
And it can also be made MUCH worse, just by following the WRONG meal plan.
