Hi everyone! I was doing really well with healthy eating and exercise until winter hit, and then it was all downhill for me. I have been able to recover for the most part, but I've noticed that my arms are looking a little, well, flabby. I also moved over the winter so I don't have a gym near me anymore, which means I'm kind of restricted in the work that I can do. What are some good body weight exercises or dumbbell exercises for arm toning, particularly the unflattering "bingo wings" I've developed. Thanks so much!

You need to reduce your overall body fat percentage if you want to lose fat on your arms. You can't spot reduce.0

Can spot reduce, but good arm exercises are
Push ups, and DIPS, (you can use a chair). They are the best two too start with0 -
checkout fitnessblender.com - tons of free workouts online and their youtube channel, you can search by what type of workout you want to do. i also hear good things about you are your own gym (both that one and there is one geared specifically towards women) and convict conditioning.0

Thanks, everyone! You've been really helpful. I know that spot reduction isn't possible, but I feel like those muscles need some extra toning right now0
