How to Get Rid of Arm Pit Fat

Getting rid of arm fat, especially around the arm pit can be done with exercise. The correct exercises and aerobic routine helps cut the flab around the arms and creates a tight and toned upper body in little to no time at all.

Break a sweat. Cardio activity burns calories and melts fat from all over the body, including your unwanted arm pit fat. Choose cardio exercises that involve upper body motion -- running, swimming or even dance. Be sure to exercise with intensity. Working at a slow and moderate pace does not yield the same results as working at a higher level of performance. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, it is recommended to do 30 minutes of cardio five days a week.

Focus on the chest. Developing strength in the chest muscles will help get rid of that unwanted jiggle. Push ups are the perfect exercise to tighten and tone. Push ups can be done anytime and anywhere because no equipment is necessary. The American Council of Exercise explains that push ups should be done with your entire body engaged. Engage your abdominals, legs and glutes and slowly lower your body down in a push up position. On your upward motion keep your spine straight and use your strength to push up your body weight. Try doing three sets of 12 push ups and add more when that becomes easy.

Train your shoulders. Also training the shoulder muscles will help get rid of stubborn fat. The shoulder muscles contain three parts -- the anterior, medial and posterior. Focus on the anterior shoulder muscles. Draw your stomach in and lift your dumbbells shoulder height. Slowly lower your weights down to your thighs. Also try doing an overhead press to engage more of the upper body. Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and lift your elbows in line with your shoulders. Press straight up over head and return to the neutral position with your shoulders in line with the elbows. Using light dumbbells do three sets of 12 front raises and overhead presses.
