My approach would be diet and long slow running. The lower the intensity, the more the body turns to fat as fuel (as opposed to glycogen). It has to be at least 30 minutes duration however. Naturally, you may need to build up to this gradually. Team Oregon Tip
I have posted this before and gotten disagreement on the grounds that high-intensity training will have metabolic after-effects (as I understand it). Fair enough, but I am personally convinced of the long, slow workout to maximize weight loss, based on personal experience. When I'm training for a marathon and putting in those long, slow runs, that's when my weight is at a minimum. When I'm focused on the 5K, with high intensity workouts, my weight does not drop as much.
If you're training for a marathon of course you're going to see weight loss. However how much of that weight is muscle? It's just like crash diets; you lose weight sure however a lot of it is muscle. So now you have less muscle and a slower metabolism. Now you get fatter.
Increasing exercise frequency is not the answer. Eating right and mixing cardio and strength training is
I would exercise my self control with regards to how much I eat every day. You have to stop eating so much for the arm flab to go away. Luckily thats one of the first places fat starts coming off, good luck with the thigh/waist/lower stomach areas.
I bought a Concept II rowing machine somewhere around age 60. Yes it was expensive. However,by using it 45' a day 5days a week, I got my weight down to what it was when I was 16. I'm 70, now, 5'9" and I weigh 155 lbs. I have good thigh, leg, back and arm muscles for my age and my stomach is flat. I eat fruit all day and my one meal consists of green vegi salad, a small piece of fatty meat (usually steak, lamb or pork) and some kind of yellow starch - yams, sweet potatoes, squash - or a small portion of garlic pasta, or fennel. I rotate that. I don't count calories.
You cannot "spot lose" fat via exercise. Diet plus exercise will be your path to lose weight, but you cannot control where it comes off first. That is simply genetics, my friend.
Dips and push ups will get the muscles under that fat to row and firm up. The fat will still be there but they will be firmer and have a better shape. To get rid of the fat just do some good interval cardio for 20 minutes a day for 2-3 weeks.

To get rid of fat you need to diet. Exercise is 10% of the equation.
Finally developing some arm muscle after doing 4 sets of 16 bicep curls @ 45 lb for 5 months. Legs as usual are tough. Upper chest has some definition after 5 months of Bench press, but could be better. Burned the living daylights out of underarm fat.
Muscle tee ready by June ? Hope I get there. Just need a smaller tummy with sexier arm muscle and I am good to go.
Basically everything that's already been covered. Losing fat is the best way.
As far as exercises, do your compound exercises. But bicep curls and skull crushers are pretty standard and effective arm exercises.
