Ht. 6'11", Start: 700 lb, Today: 689 lb, Goal: 100 lb - Question: How do I tone up and lose fat under my arms and around my triceps? Answer: Like any other body part, the triceps (or the back of the arm) won't respond to spot training. In other words, you can't do tricep exercises and hope to burn fat there. The only way to lose fat from under your arms is to lose overall body fat (see below) and hope your body will cooperate (your body is in charge of where and what order you lose body fat). That doesn't mean tricep exercises are useless...strength training is great for building muscle and helping to raise your metabolism and tricep exercises can help you build strength and firm up your muscles. So, training the triceps should be part of your regular exercise routine...just don't expect those exercises to get rid of any excess fat you may be storing there.
