    one word hun...KETTLEBELL...I have done amy bentos 3in1 beginning routine 2x today and once on sat i think it was. I feel sooooo invigorated after while I do lift weights as well her routine really work the triceps. Amazon people didnt rate it very well they dont know what they are talking about!!! The chick is awesome! youtube has a sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAtxOTcN4bk

    I agree...love her workouts! Also, pushups and dumb bells are great to do at home.

    once I have upped my act a bit so I am able to do 25lb i want to try out the goddess kettlebell video i cant remember the title

    Push-ups. There are many different variations that will work on different parts of the arms. But they are definitely the best over-all option (plus you get the additional ab work too). Dips are good too, you can do these on a chair.

    Also my recommendation for kettlebells is try a bunch of different brands. I found some on ebay i took a chance on and i really like the feel of these the best. My brand is body sport.

    Yes, I am on day 3 of 30 day shred (£3.99 for level 1 on Itunes to view on a laptop somewhere) and my arms are sore. It must do some good.
    Good luck!

    This for triceps, Biceps are more difficult at home, perhaps invest in a pullup bar (about £10 and can go on any door frame without damage) and try doing some underarm chinups - or if this is to difficult just practice hanging for as long as possible. Or alternatively get some dumbbells and do bicep curls.

    Remember tho, two thirds of the arm muscle is triceps so if you cant be bothered (dont blame you) with investing in anything then just go with jadedones recommendation which will help build muscle and tone your arms up. Hope this helps.

    I run in place and move my arms in front of me like in a swinging motion and then in front of me straight out like over my head and back down to my sides and alternate between the two ways every five minutes while I am running. Plus I do push ups everyday :wink:
