    I'm not real good with acronyms... what's an "HJ"?

    If it is what I think it is....you don't want to know :tongue:

    :laugh: Ahhh yes, my husband made a joke about the "shake weight" from that South Park episode last night.

    this is subjective, but make sure you are hydrated... have read a lot of people say it helps the skin elasticity :) And I know from personal experience, since my arms are aweful...lol.. the MORE i do weight training, the better the skin looks... i think the muscle starts to fill in some of that empty space...lol. ;)

    And again... TOTALLY subjective...but i have been wearing a bodybugg/gowearfit armband for over two years...even though that is my NON dominant arm...THAT arm is a bit over an INCH smaller...and the skin looks better on that side. I wear it about half way up my upper arm....people don't beleive me until i take off the band and make them look at my arms!!! So i bought an armband for my media player about the same width to wear( if i could remember more. lol) on the other arm... I wear the bodybugg 24/7 other then in the shower.

    Thanks.... I typically get 80+ ounces of water/day so hydration's not really an issue (reminds me I need to refill my bottle). I'm not really sure what the armband thing is that you mentioned, I'm guessing its something like FitBit or a pedometer type thing?

    Unless mine can fly me out of my office for the afternoon, I'm not interested in keeping them. :tongue:

    Sarcasm is an incredibly unattractive trait.

    I really like Tracey Anderson's "arms" routine. If you google search for video you can find some free stuff people have uploaded. I actually bought one of her videos after finding a few of her routines in Elle and some other magazines. I found the "crazy" arm movements actually toned my arms really nicely and were way more of a workout than I expected them to be.

    I lay on the floor with my arms above my head on the floor. I take a 10 lb weight and grab both ends. I pull the weight up in front of my chest, do a press and then return it back to the floor. That is one. I do a hundred. It makes the muscle sore on the back of my arm (triceps maybe), I dont know if it really helps though. I like to think it is working :flowerforyou:

    Overhead tricedp extensions have worked for me, so have chair dips, LOOOOOVE me some kettlebells....you'll find what works for you, PROMISE!!!

    I've been doing the overhead triceps extensions as well and chair dips and it's working really well for my bat wings. Even my kids noticed improvements.

    her arm routine is just like belly dancing. I used to dance way back in the day and most of her moves are belly dancing moves.

    My kids joked that I need the shake weight but I can't do that. I think I would laugh too hard to get serious and use the thing without joking and just RLMFAO
