    I've started light weight training to combat my bingo wings;-) a few bicep curls a day keeps them at bay!

    I hate my bingo wings. I am back to swimming daily to try and help them but I think I am going to have to do some specific arm weights to battle them.

    Using the cross trainer had also helped as well :-)

    You cannot spot reduce fat. lose weight all over and it will come off. That being said I suggest a well balanced strength training routine.

    Best of luck!

    Push ups! You don't need special equipment and it also works your core. http://hundredpushups.com/

    Is there a universal Gym where you are? It's a machine with everything all in one - bench presses, lat pull downs, chest presses.etc...it really did the trick for me and you don't need a spotter. The older models don't have dumbells (in which you may need a spotter sometimes)

    Other than that I could suggest resistance bands?

    I am a Pilates teacher and the best way of losing those tuckshop lady arms is to take up Pilates. Resistance Strength training using your own body weight is the key and I swear you will create long lean muscles and your whole body will change shape if you do three workouts a week. Go find your nearest Pilates class - it is fabulous.

    Agreed, Pilates works a treat!

    You do have to pair this with plenty of cardio and a clean diet to melt that fat though, good luck!

    Boxing is good cardio and targeted workout for the arms, shoulders, chest and core. Also gives you really nice toned arms :bigsmile:

    I don't agree with this. I have no proof except if you work one muscle ONLY it will change. Pilates is a great workout with amazing benefits. You can make a difference. :happy:

    Bingo wings! That is funny and so true! I was complaining about mine the other day and my 17 yr old football playing son had me doing PUSH UPS! I hate them but it is working! :wink:

    Think of all the old grannies waving their loose skinned saggy arms in the air and shouting bingo down the local community centre. They are the nickname I use for the flabby bits under your arms.
