Because women typically burn fewer calories than males daily, they may be more likely to store arm fat. Additionally, female hormones tend to place more fat on places like the arms and legs and less on visceral locations like those around organs.

While that may sound unpleasant, essential fat, which is present in your heart, lungs, liver, muscles and tissues, is necessary for women to be healthy. In fact, at least 12 percent of a woman's overall weight should come from essential fat.
