During your workouts, focus on strengthening your triceps and pecs with push ups, tricep dips, and bicep curls using free weights. This will increase the muscle mass in your arms, which will burn fat while giving your arms definition. If being in the gym gets boring, try arm-building sports, like tennis, kayaking, or boxing. To get you through your workouts, eat lots of lean protein, such as low fat yogurt, eggs, chicken, and lentils, as well as fruits and vegetables. Make sure to avoid sugary and starchy foods, like cookies, potato chips, and soda, which will add even more fat to your arms.
