There’s no need to be ashamed of having some extra fat beneath the arms – everyone’s bodies are different, and this area is one of the most difficult to tone. So, if you’ve been wanting to get rid of those extra bulges, this is the workout for you! Lock and Load – lets Tone Up those Underarm Fat and show off those toned arms sooner rather than later.
But before you start, make sure that you stretch your body properly. Stretch for about 5 to 10 minutes doing some basic arm, shoulder, neck, and back stretches. Doing this will help your body prepare for the workout and prevent injuries.
After that, you can begin with a few shoulder circles. To do this, stand with your feet hip-width apart and raise your arms up to the ceiling. From there, make slow circles with both arms going forward and slowly clockwise to backward and slowly counterclockwise. Make 10 complete circles with each arm, take 10 deep breaths and repeat the 10 circles with each arm.
Next, you can move on to some overhead triceps extensions. Start by standing and keeping your arms parallel to your body. With one hand, grab the other elbow and raise your arms up until they are slightly above your head. Then lower the elbow slowly and raise it again. Aim for 10 reps each arm.
Push-ups are next on our list! Start with your arms straight, feet wider than hip width and hands placed slightly wider than shoulder width. Keep your core engaged and lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor. Push yourself up again, keeping your arms and core engaged the entire time. Do as many push-ups as you can with good form and take 1 minute breaks in between sets.

Wall angels are a great way to get those arms ready for a bigger upper body workout. To do wall angels, all you have to do is stand in a doorway or near a wall and put your palms up against the wall.

Wall push-ups are also great for working those upper arms. Get into push-up plank position while putting your arms against the wall. Your feet should be slightly away from the wall. Bend your elbows to lower yourself close to the wall and push yourself away using the same strength. Do 10 reps and take 10 seconds breaks in between sets.
Last but not the least, it’s time to finish with some triceps dips. For this, all you have to do is grab a chair or bench and place your hands shoulder-width apart.
