I'm having great success losing pounds and inches all over my body except this one STUBBORN area. :thumbup: The area on my sides where my ribs are, just under my arm pits. I have unsightly bubbles of fat there that just won't go away. what exercises can I do to reduce in this stubborn area??? HELP.

Bat wings you can work on with tricep presses. But that loose stuff that basically is covered up by your bra probably isn't going anywhere. I know there are surgeons who do a "bra line lift" just for that reason. I've still got a ways to go and already have a problem there.

Just keep losing weight.

It's impossible to spot-lose fat, your body will just reduce fat wherever it wants to. Unfortunately, it's not always in the same places and amounts you wish it would.

Free weights about 10lbs or so arm curls will work. Some areas takes longer, so don't get discouraged, just keep working at it.

I was surprised by similar pockets of fat, I didnt think I carried it there, but it did remain and was stubborn.

For me, continued weight loss was the answer. That's the thing, people sometimes get a bit nasty about getting down to a BMI of 21 and say you're anorexic or obsessed, but that's what you have to do to get rid of all those lumps and bumps.

You do not have a specific muscle there that you can exercise to reduce the area (and that doesnt work anyway). Its just where your pecs and some of your back muscles attach.

Even now, with a C cup breast, I cant wear tiny little bras with very thin backs, or I do get overhang, there's definitely a little skin there.
