Sleeveless and off-shoulder dresses are so in fashion that no one would wish to miss them out. But with jiggling arm fat and de-shaped shoulders, you lose the ability to pull off such clothes. Typically, losing weight or removing some unwanted inches from your body is something that is believed to be a task that can be accomplished in a gym under the guidance of an instructor. But, getting toned arms is not a very complicated task anyway, a few simple exercises, 15 to 20 minutes a day and that’s all you need.

Here’s a workout plan with 5 exercises to reduce arm fat, workout should be done in circuits, no break during one circuit and a gap of a minute between each circuit:

1.    Standing V Raise
Hold 5 to 10 pound dumbbells in both hands. Stand straight with both legs apart and hands by your side. Raise both hands diagonally in front of you, so your arms form a V-shape and keep your arms parallel to the floor. Hold on to the position and do 12 to 15 reps, the first step towards toned arms.
