    Try these exercises:

    Air punches in time to a beat... forwards, upwards then forwards again...

    Try using light weights and putting your arms straight up in the air then down behind your head and cross reaches... (reach across your body)

    ETA: Just found this... <3 Google....

    Arms: Stand up straight with your feet about shoulder width apart. Grab something that weighs bout five pounds (a bag of flour in a shopping bag works well). Start with your arms above your head, weight (or bag of flour) behind your head and slowly lift up until your arms are straight up and down. This works your triceps and helps to get rid of that ‘granny flab’ between your elbow and shoulder.

    After 25 days of Power 90, I swear my arms are already more toned. LOTS of push-ups and punches!! Try it!
