    Use a resistance band and look up some videos or exercise plans online - I just got one and they are great. You can't spot tone your upper body, so keep up with the cardio to lose that weight, but building muscle with the resistance band will speed up that process.

    Totally agree, resistance bands and weighted bars will help upper body strength

    Bicep curls, Shoulder Press, and Tricep Extensions are the main ones to build muscle. You will look more "tone" as you lose more body fat however. Unfortunately, you can't target where you lose fat first.
