Ways To Reduce Bra Fat Under Your Arms

Chances are that if you're a woman above 40 years old, you're likely familiar with the term 'bat wings,' which describes the stubborn fat and sagging skin that starts appearing under the upper arms around this age.

 

While there are certain difficulties associated with correcting it, you don't have to toss all of your sleeveless clothing in the trash. You can take several steps to improve your underarms' aesthetic and appearance significantly.

 

The cause of flabby arms is likely due to a combination of factors associated with aging and genetics. The factors include an increase in overall body fat mass, where a greater portion of the fat localizes within women's arms, primarily due to genetics. Additionally, the loss of muscle mass in the arms is associated with aging and reduced activity, which causes the skin to hang loosely on the arm. There's also the loss of elasticity in the skin that derives from aging and exposure to UV radiation.

Most arm flab is directly caused by excess fat within the body. Therefore, the more effective way to target flabby arms is through exercise.

Losing body fat is a must if you're overweight; therefore, here are some options that you consider to make that happen.

 

The Right Diet

One solution to getting rid of bra fat under the arms is a proper diet. The saying is quite accurate, you are what you eat, and if you eat an excess amount of calories, it will appear on your body as fat.

Therefore if you want to get rid of that fat, you must enter a caloric deficit. A caloric deficit is when you consume fewer calories than what's required to maintain your current weight. A rule that most people follow is eating 500 fewer calories per day than one burns naturally, equating to losing a pound of fat per week (3500 calories).

 

Exercising Is A Must

As we mentioned, you've got to start exercising to help burn calories. Focus on cardio exercises such as cycling, running, walking, and jogging, and couple it with weight or body-weight training to give your upper torso a full revamp.

 

It's essential that you understand that you cannot determine where fat is burned; you've got to work at it in an overall manner. That requires consistency and commitment, and that's where most patients fail.
