Get Rid of Underarm Flab

Every woman is worried about that dreaded underarm "wing"! You know that area under your arm that keeps waving to your friend long after you’ve stopped? You can improve and prevent the formation of underarm flab by following The Eat-Clean Diet aBoldnd regularly working those weights at the gym.

This week, I’m giving you three moves from The Eat-Clean Diet™ Workout to add to your upper-body routine to improve the tone in your arms. After a few weeks, you’ll want to wear a sleeveless shirt every chance you get!

1. SINGLE-ARM LYING TRICEPS EXTENSION

SETS/REPS: 3 sets of 12 reps

HOW TO DO IT: Lie on your back on a bench as shown, your feet firmly on the floor. Hold a light dumbell in your right hand at arm’s length above your chest. Keeping the upper arm as vertical as possible, bend your elbow until the dumbbell touches your left shoulder. Lift steadily and repeat. Perform the same movement with the left arm, lowering it to the right shoulder.
