7. Single-arm weight row

This is a great way to get rid of underarm flab.

Start by standing on all fours, with a weight in one arm.
Hold the weight in your right hand, stretch your right leg backward, touching the floor with your toes, and keep your weight on your left leg. Also, place the toes on your left foot on the floor.
Now, lift your right hand up by bending your arm making sure the weight reaches the chest area, as shown in the lower picture. Then, put your hand back toward the surface making sure the knee doesn’t touch the ground.
Perform two sets of 15-12 repetitions per hand (4 times total).
After one set, rest for 45 seconds at most, and continue to the next set.
After a few exercises are done, you can make 3 sets of 15 repetitions.
