Like any other body part, the triceps (or the back of the arm) won't respond to spot training. In other words, you can't do tricep exercises and hope to burn fat there. The only way to lose fat from under your arms is to lose overall body fat (see below) and hope your body will cooperate (your body is in charge of where and what order you lose body fat). That doesn't mean tricep exercises are useless...strength training is great for building muscle and helping to raise your metabolism and tricep exercises can help you build strength and firm up your muscles. So, training the triceps should be part of your regular exercise routine...just don't expect those exercises to get rid of any excess fat you may be storing there.
Hi. You can't spot reduce like Thamizhan said. So you have to do a full body workout. Do lots of cardio and aerobic... It helps you lose weight.
Watch what you eat and make sure youe exercise. 😊 N pushups do help like Natasha said. 😃
[quote]Upper arms are a storage site for fat, and even the thinnest woman who doesn't seem to have an inch of spare fat anywhere on her body and proudly declares "No matter how much I eat, I just can't put on weight…" would in all probability have upper arms that jiggle.
The reason that most of us have flabby upper arms is because they don't get worked out at all during our regular routine. Here's how you can get your upper arms in shape:
Start doing some form of aerobic activity like walking or jogging. Just exercising your arms will not really accomplish much, unless it is combined with aerobic activity. Aerobic activities help you burn fat from all over, and at a much faster rate than spot reduction exercises do. Thus, it's best to combine a spot reduction activity which targets the muscles in your upper arm, with an aerobic exercise.
Push-ups Assume the regular push up pose, with your legs out straight behind you and your arms below your chest on the floor. Keep your arms as close together as possible, with fingers pointing forward. Slowly lower your body till your elbows are bent at 90 degrees, pause for a few seconds, and lift your body again. Start with around 2-3 push ups, and slowly keep increasing. Once this gets too easy, you could keep lowering your body till your chin almost touches the floor, and then lift it again.Combine this routine with a jog around the block thrice a week
