How to get rid of armpit fat: Lose your underarm bulge without going to the gym – Daily Star

GETTY

After months of dreary grey weather, the sun is finally here.But its not necessarily good news if youre self-conscious about your body.

As the temperature heats up many of us dread getting our lily-white legs and flabby arms out.

And women often struggle more with bingo wings and underarm fat because the average woman is 18-20% fat, whereas the average man only has 10-15% body fat.

Fat also distributes itself differently on ladies and often stores in areas including the buttocks, thighs, stomach and arms.

Take a look at these exceptional body transformations.

Underarm fat the little squishy bit between your arm and your breasts can be a particularly hard to shift.

However, you can banish this unsightly fat without any specialised gym equipment. In fact, the best way to get rid of excess body fat includes burning it off through cardiovascular exercise, resistance exercise and calorie control.

Here are three easy ways to get rid of armpit fat fast:

1. Limit your daily calorie intake

To get rid of armpit fat you need to reduce your body fat overall. The best way to start burning fat is to reduce your calorie intake.

Eliminate junk food from your diet and swap it with vegetables, fruit, lean meats, fish and complex carbs like oatmeal, whole-grain breads and quinoa.

Make sure you drink plenty of water and stay hydrated as eople often mistake thirst for hunger.

If you cut 500 calories from your daily diet, you may be able to lose 1lb per week.

2. Do HIIT workouts

High Intensity Interval Training aka HITT has become the new craze in exercise and for good reason.

HIIT workouts burn more calories during exercise, but also helps you continue to burn long after you've finished.

A study published last month by the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse found participants burned an average of 15 calories per minute, nearly twice amount they used up on a long run.

"HIIT has demonstrated to be the most effective training protocol for losing weight, building stamina, conditioning your body, and revving up your metabolism," says Eraldo Maglara, N.S.C.A.-C.P.T

And you dont need to hit the gym to do HIIT, all you need is your own bodyweight (although dumbbells and kettlebells are useful).

Simply perform an exercise as intenselyas you can for 30 seconds and then have a rest of no more than 15 seconds.

You can mix up the exercises between press ups, burpees, squats and lunges.

3. Lift weights

Add muscle-building work to your exercise regimen. Try doing the exercises above while holding weights.

If you dont have any weights at home, simply use your own weight for resistance. You can also try planking, triceps dips and deep squats.

As you add muscle tissue, you raise your metabolism and burn more calories even while resting.
