    Try wearing weighted gloves while running? I've never tried this on a treadmill, but I do wear 1lb weighted gloves when working out and I found it helped tone my arms.

    I got this kit just for the gloves because it was the cheapest I found: http://www.walmart.com/ip/15193769

    i must have mispoke...i DONT want arm muscle. i want o get rid of arm flab. I want small lean arms...not muscular arms

    It's really hard for a woman to get big muscles.

    My arms are small and lean, and I go for heavy weights. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/404861-more-of-those-scary-scary-girl-muscles

    "Arm flab" is the result of not having enough muscle in your arms. Muscle is more firm. More firm = less jiggle.

    Unfortunately, your arms already come with muscle.. so you can't get rid of that.

    In order to get small lean arms, lift heavy weights and don't get a low body fat percentage.. simple.

    The elliptical/treadmill won't do anything for melting arm flab...hate to tell you.
