How to Tighten Your Underarm Flab
- 1). Practice aerobic exercises for at least 45 minutes per day for four to five days per week. Do an exercise that works out your arms, such as swimming. Aerobic exercise is necessary for removing fat from the arms. Swimming helps tone the arms as well.
- 2). Do push-ups three days per week. Push-ups are powerful exercises that workout the triceps, biceps and chest. Do 10 to 20 push-ups each session. As you improve, do as many push-ups as you can.
- 3). Firm up your underarms by doing tricep dips. Place your hands onto a secured bench. Keep them shoulder-width apart, with your hands positioned so that your fingers are toward your body while holding onto the bench. Put your feet straight out in front of you, as far as you can. While holding onto the bench, straighten your arms. Keep a slight bend in the at the elbow. Slowly lower down the upper body. Push the body back up to the starting position.
- 4). Perform dumbbell kickbacks with a dumbbell. Use a dumbbell that you can lift that is somewhat challenging. Start by holding the dumbbell in your right hand. Place the hand and knee on a bench. Tuck your arm at your side at a 90-degree angle. Extend the arm back while keeping the elbow in. Flex your tricep muscles and keep them engaged. Return to the starting position. Do three sets of 10 repetitions on both sides.
