I gained 45 lbs while I was pregnant with my son, I finally I lost it! (I wouldnt bore you with details but if you want to know details of how I did it feel free to message me!) But now Id like to tone my arms with out getting bulky. How can I do that? Im just used to cardio so Im not familar with which machines or arm workouts to learn. Thanks!

    You won't get bulky lifting weights. (I mean, you could eventually, but you'd have to work really hard at it.) I've been doing a weights class for 3 months, 2-3 times a week and I'm definitely stronger but my muscles are far from huge! I've enjoyed doing group power class at my gym but it covers all muscle groups.

    Estrogen will prevent you from getting bulky. Body building ladies work very hard for their muscles.

    I think you might like the book "You Are Your Own Gym" by Mark Lauren. It's exercises that use your own body weight to do.

    It's also an app. I think it cost me $3 but it's totally worth it - really easy to follow workouts and you don't need any equipment.

    Lift weights!

    You can get some free weights and use them to tone up all areas of your arms and shoulders!

    Your see a big difference working all difference areas - You can google exercises off the internet with free weights - Quite easy and effective.
