The one part of my body that I really hate are those flaps under my arms.  Every girl knows about this little problem area, the “extra skin” that hangs under our biceps.  Here are four exercises that will help you to tone them up:

Exercise 1:  Bench dips. 

• Find a bench

• With your back facing the bench, place both hands behind your back and rest your palms on the end of the bench

• Lie at an incline with your legs extended and your hands holding you up

• Extend your arms, lifting your body

• Do four sets of 10

Exercise 2:  One Arm Rows

• Find a bench

• To work your right arm rest your left knee and left hand on the bench

• Hold an appropriate dumbbell in your right hand and lean your body forward

• Hold your right arm close to your body and bend at the elbow to a 90 degree angle

• Extend arm backward

• Do four sets of 10

Exercise 3:  Diamond Pushups

• Get in a regular push up position

• Move your hands inward toward your chest

• Make a diamond shape with your hands

• Do four sets of 10 pushups

Exercise 4:  Tricep Lifts

• Get a dumbbell

• Hold it with both hands

• Lift over and behind your head

• Extend your elbows upward

• Do four sets of 10

These are four basic exercises that you could even do around the house in your plus size t-shirts and sweats.  Doing these exercises will help you to tone and strengthen your triceps, eliminating that extra fat we all hate.
