I understand theres no such thing as spot reduce, but my elephant arms really bother me. I am 5"3 and 134 pounds, and my upper arm circumference is 11.8 inches!

Any tips to have leaner arms pls share..

    Lots of weights! Building muscle in your arms and eating clean means fat will burn off!

    Keep doing what you're doing to lose weight, but now incorporate various lifting exercises that focus on your biceps, triceps and forearms.

    Lose fat by eating at a moderate caloric deficit. Build muscle (shape your arms) by lifting weights.

    This.

    If you just diet, then your arms won't really change shape other than to get smaller. If you lift weights while on a deficit, your arms will be tight and defined as well as smaller.

    Thanks for all your feedback. I am already doing more bodypump class. Need to do more tricep dips and lifts!!
