There is nothing more frustrating than your biggest problem areas. No matter what I do my arms don't seem to change. Any tips??

    Weights weights weights. Weight lifting will build muscles that will hopefully fill out any nagging loose spaces. Arms are particularly annoying, I agree with you on that one! Google exercises for triceps. You can do tricep extensions with dumbbells, tricep dips with a chair, push-ups with your elbows close to your body, etc. Good luck!

    Mine are gross! The only things that have made a dent for me is 30 Day Shred, and tricep dips (on the couch, etc). They seem to show the most amount of definition in the least amount of time. Good luck!

    As you probably already know, there's absolutely nothing you can do about the fat on your arms, except continue exercising and wait for it to come off in its own time. You burn fat from all over your body, not necessarily from the area you're exercising

    I think the slightly better news is that lifting weights with your arms (real weights that push you to your limits, not little 2 or 3 pound handweights) will help develop muscle in your arms and make them look better proportioned. I did weight machines at the gym for awhile, and it was a little disheartening that I had to start out on the lightest possible settings for most of the upper body exercises, but I've improved since then and I definitely have muscle definition that I did not have 6 months ago. Give it time and hard work, you'll be alright. Good luck! :)

    I'm in the same not! I'm only in day 3 of the 30 day shred, but I can already notice a difference, and I had good results with this before too :)
