Underarm fat - any tips

Bit random and not exactly a weight loss one but I ve just made the mistake of trying on my swimsuit from last year and I seem to have underarm fat and I don’t think it was there last year! The swimsuit is one of those halterneck ones with a band straight across your chest and suddenly it seems to look awful.

Weird because my weight hasn’t changed. Is this age related- am 43?

Any tips on getting rid? Apologies if this isn’t in the right section x

I don’t think you can spot lose weight , but some triceps exercise should firm your underarm muscles.

Unfortunately I think it is a bit of an age thing. You might weigh the same but be losing muscle and gaining a bit of flab?

Weights / weight bearing exercise are increasingly important to fend off osteoporosis so pick a regime that suits you and you will see a difference quite quickly.

A cheap Powerspin from Amazon helped me a lot - I used it pretty much every day and it helped me tone up quite fast.

I use weights and resistance bands now but always worry about somehow hurting my neck back, whereas I never did with the Powerspin.
