How To Get Rid Of Flabby Underarms

Flabby Underarms

The dreaded flab that gets stored in our underarm areas is something most women dread as the hot summer months approach. This makes it difficult for them to sport tanks and sleeveless tops. There is no doubt that you have to have super toned arms if you want to sport sexy blouses, tees and tops. Most women struggle with flabby underarms because they focus only on cardio and do little in terms of strength training to tone those under arm muscles. Cardio and weight training are integral to one another. While cardio cuts the flab, weight training helps to tone loose muscles and sculpt them to perfection. Here are the must do steps to get toned underarms.

How To Get Rid Of Flabby Underarms

The Importance Of Eating Healthy

Any approach towards weight loss should first start with monitoring and overhauling your eating habits and patterns. Cut out junk food from your diet and start eating fruits, veggies, whole grains and nuts to stay fit and healthy. Start aiming for a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day if you want to lose a pound every week. This can be done with a combination of controlled eating and exercising. This will help to reduce overall body fat and subsequently flabby underarms.

Cardio Vascular Fitness

cardio

In order to target the subcutaneous fat stored in your under arm region, aim to do 30-40 minutes of intense cardio 3-5 times a week for best results. This will get rid of the visible layer of fat and help to tone the muscles.

Strength Training

Strength training is what is going to get you those lean, sexy and toned arm muscles. Let me also tell you that toning arms is very difficult and requires months of painstaking effort especially if you have a tendency to bulk up in the arm region. Go in for professional strength training and do it under the guidance of a fitness trainer. Doing your exercises with correct form is very important. Here are some of the exercises that you need to be doing for flabby underarms.

Dumbbell Press

Dumbbell presses target the chest muscles, arms, shoulders and the under arm region. Lie down flat on your back on a bench and take two five-pound dumbbells in your hands. Now bring the dumbbells overhead just above your head in a smooth motion keeping your elbows very straight. Bring the dumbbells down to their original position such that your elbows are bent at 90 degrees. Do two sets of 12 reps each for best results.

Arm Circles

Arm circles are a great way to tone those arms without using any machines and equipment. Simply stretch out your arms to your sides and rotate them 20 times in a clockwise direction. Now repeat the same movement in an anti-clockwise direction.

Lat Pull Downs

Lat pull downs are conventionally done for toning the back muscles but they are also a great way of toning underarm muscles, as this is the muscle you are using while you bring the bar down. Do 2-3 sets of lat pull downs with 8-12 reps for best results. As you get stronger, increase the weights. Make sure you use a wide grip.

Push-Ups

Push-ups are one of the best ways to tone flabby underarms. They also help to tone shoulders, triceps and biceps. Do 2-3 sets of 12 reps for best results.
