    Work your triceps. Can't guarantee that it will solve the problem but it sure helps. Triceps is a muscle that is under used. Everybody knows about biceps but triceps dips are a great way to not have your arm keep waving after you've stopped.

    If it's just loose, stretched out skin. No luck, you need to have surgery.

    If it's fat that you still have to loose, then loose the fat. Google "bodyfat %" and do some reading.

    Spot reduction is a myth. No exercise can help you with any of this, regardless of which one it is.

    If it's loose skin, I don't really know. If it's body fat there's no way to target that area, but work your biceps and triceps. Triceps take (I believe) 2/3 of the arm so they're the biggest muscle; work 'em and work 'em hard. That's my two cents LOL.

    Better late than never! I've been going at it for almost a year and I'm STILL seeing changes. Nothing happens overnight and it's mind over matter. YOU CAN DO IT!

    I had loose skin too and started doing Tracy Anderson precision toning for just arms and her mat arms workout. I also tried Mary Helen Bowers Swan Arm Series. After two months of doing 15 minutes to 20 minutes of arm exercises 6 days a week my arms lost 3.5 inches around and my shoulders thinned out. But I had huge chunk of skin prior to that hanging down as I gained 100 pounds. And have about 30 more pounds to go but my arms look fantastic.

    why is it so difficult for people to understand how to spell the word "lose".

    life mystery.
