Armpit Exercise

  • Not to be gross or anything, I just didn't know how to describe this trouble spot, lol! I'm very squishy on the side of my ribcage, just below the armpit. It really oozes out over my bra, yuck. I'm not talking about the triceps, I use my little dumbells for that, but the area just at the sides. I can't seem to think of an exercise to firm up the area directly. Any ideas? Thanks!
  • Unfortunately, it's impossible to spot-reduce. I know exactly what area you're speaking about - I have had the same problem myself. (At this point, according to my PS, it's mostly skin in my case).

    I'd do chest workouts - presses and flyes of various types and at various positions (seated, incline, flat on your back - check the ABC Bodybuilding site for lots of different exercises). But even MORE importantly - check your diet - if that's fat, then you need to make sure you're eating clean so you can burn off that fat.

    Hope that helps
