    Unfortunately you can't really spot reduce fat. Wish you could.

    What you can do is build the muscle underneath. This will tighten them out and reduce the jiggle. If you're eating at maintenance or below, you will lose fat when you do. Some of which will come from your arms.

    Eat at a calorie deficit and lift weights. That'll get rid of it eventually.

    You cannot spot reduce fat, but you can build up your delts and triceps, which I had to do in order to get control of my arm jiggle. I wasn't that fatty in the area, but I had NO muscle in the back. I worked up from 3 push-ups to being able to 100 push-ups in a day (not in one set!) and I worked on bench dips and skull crushers (what a disturbing name for an exercise). It's really helped to shape my arms while I wait around for the rest of my fat to take a hike.

    You won't get rid of fat by doing tricep exercises like people have said, but making the muscle stronger can help the process. Dips like Bench Dips or my favorite tri exercise, Lying Tricep Extensions, Rippetoe style.
