A: Targeted weight loss is not really possible, but by doing cardio, and working the muscles that you are trying to strengthen, you can lose overall weight which will lose the fat in those muscles. As far as exercises are concerned, doing upright row, lat pulldowns, bicep curls and tricep and deltoid kickbacks will increase muscle strength. To get toning, make sure to do at least 15 reps at a lower weight.
