Can anyone give me any advice on how to really tone the back of my flabby arms? I don't need body builder arms but just a nice, slight, definition?

    small weights ( I use 5-8 pds) when home. But at the gym, I use tricep cable pulls.

    Pick up some heavy things, then do it again, and reduce the amount of fat on your body.

    Unless you are taking drugs and lifting very heavy you aren't going to get body builder arms..

    Don't be afraid to lift HEAVY!!! Light dumbbells are for sissies. :tongue:

    You definitely won't get bulky unless you start taking steroids or something of that nature.

    It's incredible that women today are still so misinformed on weight training.

    Please don't go out and waste your hard earned money on some pink 2lb dumbells!

    Lift heavy, eat right and throw some cardio in. You won't become a bodybuilder... I promise.

    There are a lot of good (beginner) arm routines on bodybuilding.com. Sift through there and see if you like something. Give it a month or two... if you get JACKED and become a bodybuilder let me know how the hell you managed that! Good luck :)

    Bingo wings - who plays bingo? Old women. What do old women usually have? Flabby arms.

    My advice, or what I'm doing, is lifting weights. However heavy/light you can lift. I focus on shoulder lifts which feel like they hit my upper arms, not just the shoulders. Resistance bands are something new I'm trying since I can't sit still for lifting. Watch your diet. Your arms will look better when your body fat goes down. Mine have a great potato on top and 4 inches of hang off the bottom.

    you can waste your time lifting less than what your purse weigh or have nice arms by lifting heavy. Your choice.

    Even easier - 3 sets of 5 with 10- 15lbs Don't waste time with barbie weights - you will not get body builders arms from lifting heavy weights - you are not a man.....
