I am not an exercise person except for walking. I would like to know how to shape up my upper arms (the quick way) using weights. I have 5 lb. weights and want to use them correctly.
Any help/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thx !

you will tone as quickly as your body permits, no faster. OK, the upper arm basically has triceps in the back n biceps in the front.
Pushups are great for triceps and lots of other things. If a pushup from the floor is too difficult, try a modified, inclined pushup from a desk or counter. if that is too hard, start on the wall. Try one. Then 3. Work up to 3 sets of 8
Standing curls are great for biceps. Try to do 3 set of 8 repetitions with the 5 lb weights. If too much, try with a can of food, about 1 lb. If it feels feather light, try curls with a gallon of water,about 8 lbs.0 -

Lift heavy, basically the heavier you lift the faster the results.
And don't worry it's practically impossible for women to bulk up. Just make sure the weight isn't painfully heavy.0 -
There is no fast way unless you're optioning surgery. Especially if you're untrained in resistance training, expect at least 3 months to see any significant results.
