    The Jamie Eason Livefit program available on Bodybuilding.com is a great program. 12 weeks and you do lift some serious weights! As long as you can anyway haha. Its up to you how much weight. Take a look. Unfortunately, if there is a LOT of skin, then it may never go away but some toning is possible of course.

    I do supersets on my arms as they have always been an issue in my mind (literally haven't shown my arms in public in like 18years!) I do bicep curls, reps of 10 followed by hammer curls, also reps of 10 then rest. I do this for 3 sets then do tricep pull downs, 10 reps followed by bodyweight tricep dips, 15 reps,then rest. 3 sets. Hopefully eating with a deficit will give me arms of a goddess...eventually!!!

    The flab is body fat or extra skin, or both. It's not possible to target either of those with exercise. For an explanation, Google "spot reduction myth".

    To reduce fat - from anywhere - do a normal, full-body strength training program (NROL, Stronglifts, etc). Adding extra arm exercises won't give you the results you want.

    Row row row! There are so many great arm exercises, but you have to do plenty. I just turned 60 and have had great toned arms for almost 2 years now -- it takes some effort but is totally worth it! I swear I wear more sleeveless stuff now than I did 10 years ago.

    The rowing machine is great, any kind of weights that you row, press, or lift will help. You'll also feel great to be getting stronger.

    have fun!

    ^Yep. Eat at a moderate deficit, get enough protein, and do some full body resistance training. Adding a bunch of "arm" exercises wont do anything extra for you.
