Has anyone has success with losing their arm fat that dangles, you know what I mean, under the biceps, where we get "wings"! LOL...have you lost yours, and what exercises did you use to lose it? I think mine has gone down some, but not sure, just want to find the best method to get results!

    Any sort of tricep work is supposed to help. Kickbacks, overhead extensions, things like that.

    Dips, Tricep Extentions, Kick Backs, Skull Crushers all work the triceps.

    You have to do cardio to burn the fat, primarily. In addition to that, triceps exercises tone that specific muscle (and muscle helps with the fat burning that you have to do to get rid of the wing). Pushups are also great for toning so much, and there are tons of modifications that can be done for those who aren't able to do a full-on push up just yet. (Me, for instance!)

    Carry around small dumbbells or cans of beans and lift your arms above your head constantly (pumping up and down) until it really burns. Stretching too. It takes a while, but it eventually works!

    Bump. Im wondering too. I've done P90X plus I've continued to strength train. There's still some flab there but a lot as tightened up.

    I'm not sure what the correct name of the excercise is, but I have a bench, which I place my left knee on, and with my right arm take the dumbell and let my arm hang to my right leg. I then bend the arm BACK, towards the ceiling in an upward motion, to work the flab under the bicep. Switch to your right knee onto the bench, and do the same with the left arm. I am up to 3 sets of 15 reps with 12lbs.... and I see a huge difference in just 75 days. Also, reverse pushups. You just need a chair, or stairs for this one. Sit on the floor, in front of the last or bottom stair. Place your hands (just behind you), palms flat on the last stair, and raise your body weight in a reverse push-up. I do 3 sets of 12 reps. By the end, my arms are burning.... right along with the area you are wanting to tone. Again, I don't know if I've described this well enough, but hope you understand, cause they both really work.
    good luck!!

    Same as others have said, gotta work the triceps. Kickbacks, triceps press, all that stuff. I like to swim and it feels like the breaststroke works that part of my arms pretty well, too.
