New Ways To Get Rid of Fat

Armpit flab, which is also mockingly termed as “bingo wings” or “bat wings”, develops with age. More than men, women are prone to acquire armpit flab once they cross forty. This causes a lot of embarrassment when they wave their hands in a sleeveless or strapless outfit. The low level of testosterone is the reason for accumulation of fat under the armpit. By taking the right diet and going for weight training exercises, you can reduce the fat cells that get accumulated under your arm. Perform cardiovascular exercises that help burn fat and weight training exercises to tone and build your muscles.

As your target area is the triceps muscle, focus on performing shoulder presses. Take dumbbells weighing 2 to 5 pounds and hold them in each hand. Stand with your legs at shoulder width distance with your palms toward the wall. Raise your hands slowly above your head. Take care not to lift your shoulders toward your ears. Slowly lower your hands down and repeat the procedure 20 times. You can get a noticeable result in a month’s time if you strictly adhere to this exercise three times a week. Be cautious if you have pain in the lower back, neck or the elbows.

To fight against sagging skin under your arms, push ups are ideal as they focus on arms, chest and shoulders. These are simple exercises which do not require any equipment. You can do many variations of push ups so that you can focus on different parts of your body. Standard push ups are perfect for toning all parts of your body. Keep your palms down on the floor at a shoulder width distance. Keep your feet together with your back and butt held tight. Lower your body slowly till your chest nearly touches the floor. Slowly raise your body to the original position. Repeat the steps 10 times taking rest for 15-30 seconds. Push ups for arms target the triceps muscles that lie at the back of arms. Make a little variation to the standard push ups by keeping your hands closer together. Keep your elbows closer to the sides when you lower down. The change in the posture targets the triceps and tones the flabby skin under your arms.
