How to get skinny arms/biceps and thighs?

My thighs and biceps are really big. I've got a very small stomach so my body in my opinion looks disproportional. What can I do to make them smaller?

    do following with light weight and more reps

    Do exercises with light weights and more reps with 25-22-18 and 4 reps respectively increasing weight and decreasing reps each time. You should vary with hammer curl, dumbell curl, seated dumbell curl, concentration curl, curled barbell curl. Do 1 of seated dumbell curl and concentration curl each day u do arms.

    You shouldn't ignore forearms and triceps though

    For forearsms do wrist curl, back wrist curl, reverse barbell curl, reverse dumbell curl. Forearms are sensitive, so start these exercises with less weight and get the movement first before switching to heavy weights

    for Tricepts, you can do overhead 1 side dumbell extensions, overhead single dumbell extensions bring down single dumbell with both hands, narrow grip bench press, close handed push-ups and dips

    eat just oats, fruits, vegetables, mik (boiled potatoes and banans daily) 5 days a week till u achieve ur target

    Best is stay active, dance, use only stairs (no lift), walk to nearest shop, get good sleep and stay happy

    You shud do 15 mins jog daily, sit-ups, climbing stairs (very effective), lunges (very effective), dance workout for toned legs and butt.

    Cycling, swimming, dance and skipping rope is also helpful

    Do Crunches, side twists, Side bends, Leg raises 3 sets of 25 reps each exercise daily to trim belly.

    Eat Yogurt, raw paneer, drink hot milk bedtime, drink lots of water, eat fruits and salads, drink green tea morning first thing and eat little salad before lunch and Dinner.

    Dip handful of whole grains (Black grams, peas, peanuts, pulses) in cup of water overnight and eat in morning.

    You can follow following diet and fitness tips for better results: -

    Eat more of vegetarian food, have 5 time meals rather. Eat yogurt, curd in mrng and evening.

    You can have seafood also.

    Drink 1 cup of green tea empty stomach.

    breakfast of cereals, milk and egg only, with bread

    Lunch u can have beans on bread, 1 plate dal rice or 2-3 breads with baked/ boiled vegetables

    have light dinner, eat some salad and u can have 2-3 breads and with gravy, pulses or pasta with not much of cheese. You can use home made salsa

    Drink plain hot milk with only little suger or green tea bed time

    avoid soda/aerated drinks (mainly diet Soda), chicken, beef, pork, cheese, pizzas and junk food.

    Avoid rice at night. you can treat yourself on weekend with these food, but keep activity level high on weekend

    learn some recipes for healthy food. You can look for alternates like fish, crab, prawns, Soya, Mushrooms etc..

    ____________________

    You can do activities like streching, breathing exercises, yoga, running, like standing at same place u do running motion, arobics, dance, climb stairs till 5 storeys 3-4 times a day, jogging, badminton, volleyball also keep you fit

    swimming is also good exercise

    You can do free exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, chin-ups to stay fit

    get a pair of light weight dumbells and do arm exercises

    for thighs do lunges, sit-ups, stepper, multi-exercise, leg curls, leg press, jogging, climbing, climbing steps

    you have to do lots of running

    lots of cardio exercise

    30-40 mins 4-5 days a week

    also some high rep weight training would help

    Work out really hard or ask a professional trainer/your doctor. You could consider surgery, if it bothers you that much.
