Shoulder fat doesn't get talked about as much as stomach or leg fat, but that doesn't mean it isn't as frustrating when it develops. You have to take care of this fat the same way you would with any other location--with diet and exercise. The exercise part involves some specific routines to hit the shoulders at different angles. This can cause muscle growth, which can increase your metabolism, and it can also creates better definition.
Step 1
Reduce your intake of empty-calorie foods. Avoid cakes, cookies, deep fried foods, fast food, dressings and heavy creamed sauces. Eat nothing but fruits, veggies, chicken breasts, lean beef, whole grains, beans and low-fat dairy products.
Step 2
Execute a set of military presses with a barbell. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the barbell at chest height with a wide grip. Press the barbell straight above your head until your elbows are almost locked out. Lower the bar back to the top of your chest and repeat.
Step 3
Elevate your shoulders to do shrugs. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the dumbbells down at your sides with your palms facing in. Keep your arms straight and lift your shoulders up in the air. Hold for a second, lower them back down, and repeat.
