    I have an arm workout I do that is pretty awesome. Even with a 3 pound dumbbell I feel the burn and it has been great.

    It is actually available on YouTube.

    I lost an inch on my upper arms doing the 30 day shred, from day 2 to day 6. Honest to God. I measured right before I did day 2, and again after day 6 workout. My arms are one of my main concerns as well. I want to lose the flub that sags down lol.

    I made a silly mistake when I first started on MFP, in that I walked like crazy, still do lol! Lost a lot of weight and now got the arm thing going on!

    So 3 months ago I started to do the tricep dips, arm curls, back lifting (not sure if that is the proper term) with weights.

    It`s gonna be a long slow haul, as it took me all this time to get to get my waist down from size 18 uk to a size 10...mix it all up now cos I wish I had done it at the start ;-)

    Hello, I went out and purchased 3 sets of hand weights. 3lb. 5lb. and 8lb. Do bicep curls at least 3 sets of 15 (I use 8lb). Then i hold the 5lb weights with my arms straight out . I do 20 circular motion forward then, 20 backwards. But you should squeeze the weights. I don't know the names but It has really worked. My arms are toned and less jiggly. Also, I lost 3 inches off my arms.


    Do this or something every day!!!!

    Look on youtube as well. They have great videos. If you need to see it.

    I found that rail push ups/counter push ups work really great for me. 3 sets of 10 - 3 times per week. Notice difference in just a couple of weeks.
