I know you can't spot reduce but I do cardio 5 times a week and eat healthy but my arms aren't getting any thinner it seems like. My stomach and legs have, but not my arms. Anything I can do to tone them? I'm 5'4 and 130 pounds so I'm not fat but I want to tone them

    i'd look at incorporating some heavy lifting into your routine.

    You answered your own question. You can't spot reduce. Your only solution is to bring down your overall body fat.

    Yep. It is frustrating but true. We all have certain areas that seem to have a predisposition to hold onto fat more so than others but you can't choose where you lose.

    You can't spot reduce, but you can try to work on body recomposition overall. Add in some strength training. It doesn't have to be lifting heavy (though you'll get the most bang for your buck.lifting weights), but a good strength routine will help you hold on to lean muscle while losing fat.

    Press - ups
    Pull-ups

    Any compounds lifting that hits your arms and shoulders.
