5 Exercises To Get Rid Of Underarm Fat And Breast Side Fat

Nowadays, most of our decisions have been greatly influenced by what we see and hear in social media. As a matter of fact, even the way we perceive what’s healthy and what’s not is affected by it. For example, we now know that being skinny does not equate to being healthy, and that regular exercise is needed to achieve our healthiest body.

Still, having unwanted fats in our body remains one of our biggest health problems. These fats may cause some of our body parts to look kind of full and heavy. In women, particularly, these “problem areas” are usually found in their arms, thighs, and buttocks.

Nonetheless, if you’re a woman who is wondering how to get rid of your underarm and breast side fat, you’re in luck then! We have list down five easy exercises that will help you tone the muscles of your arms and chest. Read them below:


1. Dumbbell Floor Press

This exercise focuses on your upper body, letting you lift some heavy weights without hurting your back and shoulders.

How to Do It:

• Lay on the floor holding dumbbells.
• Bent your knees and fully extend the weights above you.
• Lower the weights until your upper arms touch the floor.
• Together, extend again the weights above you through your elbows.

Before we proceed to the next exercise, we would like to mention that having those annoying skin folds between your arms and breasts are very common. Moreover, you have to realize that losing fats from certain parts of our body means losing body fats in general. Surely, our daily diet has a huge impact on this; hence why exercises don’t help in reducing our body fats when we continuously eat fattening foods. You have to remember to take in lesser calories than you are using.

2. Staggered Push Ups

This is an exercise that will help you reduce your underarms and breasts side fat. In addition, it is considered as a “movable plank” because it uses not just the strength of your upper body but also your core during performance. If staggered push ups are done correctly, your upper body, torso, and lower body will be moving together as one.

How to Do It:

• As your starting position, your body should be in a straight prone position with your arms and toes extended as support. Your hands should be outside your shoulder width and staggered, meaning one is higher than the other.
• Move down by flexing your elbows to lower your torso to the ground. Make sure your hips remain steady.
• Hold your position at the bottom, and then extend your elbows to get back to the starting position.
• Reverse your hand position for the next set.

As we have mentioned above, working out will not help you lose fat if you will not eat the right foods. You have to eat a food combination of high-protein, high-carbohydrates, healthy fats, and fruits and vegetables. Find out which combinations work best for you.

3. Dumbbell Floor Fly

Another exercise for the upper body is the dumbbell floor fly. Do take note that in doing this exercise, your body’s form is very crucial. Poor form can cause shoulder impingement.

How to Do It:

• Lie on the floor while holding two dumbbells above your shoulders.
• With your palms facing each other, slowly lower the dumbbells in an arching motion until your elbows hit the floor. Pause briefly.
• Squeeze back together the dumbbells in an arching motion until they are a few inches away from each other to keep the tension on your muscles.
• Repeat as desired.

4. Dumbbell Rows

If you want to strengthen your back, shoulders, and biceps while engaging your core throughout the exercise, do some dumbbell rows. Of course, you need dumbbells for this exercise —not only to build muscles but also to create body balance and stability.

How to Do It:

• While holding two dumbbells, bend at your hips and knees. Lower your torso until it’s almost parallel to the floor.
• Hang the dumbbells at arm’s length from your shoulders.
• Flex your arms to pull the dumbbells toward your chest.
• Lower them again at arm’s length. Repeat as desired.

5. Dips

For powerful and defined triceps, try to do some dips! These are strong and effective isolation exercises that can help get rid of the flabby areas of your upper body. In addition, you can do dips almost anywhere you like!

How to Do It:

• While sitting, position your hands in a way that they are shoulder-width apart.
• Straight out your legs in front of you and simply move them up and down with a pause at the bottom.
