Why do my arms ache during confinement?

It is strictly forbidden to catch a cold during the confinement period. If you are not careful, it may cause arm pain, which will bring great inconvenience to the patient's life. Arm pain during confinement should be considered to be caused by cervical spondylosis, because you have to hold the baby for a long time and feed the baby in one posture for several hours at a time. In addition, women during the confinement period are very weak, so it is normal to cause arm pain. You should pay attention to keeping warm and enjoy an appropriate exercise environment.

For women whose arms are too thin and who want to enhance their muscularity, the following dynamic exercises will help you "strengthen" your arms. After all, the era of "skinny beauty" has long passed, and healthy and energetic beauty can better reflect the charm of women. This set of movements can be done with the help of some light and heavyweight equipment, such as small dumbbells (2.5 pounds to 5 pounds). If you don't have any equipment, a bottle of mineral water or a dictionary will do the trick. The choice of weight should be individual and based on one's ability. If you want to develop more obvious muscles, you should choose equipment with slightly heavier weights and practice less often. If you want to have smooth and tight lines, you should choose equipment with lighter weights and increase the number of exercises.
