Hey guys...I need your help...I need some exercises to help with my bat wings but I cannot lift weights with my right arm. I had breast cancer in my right breast and had lymph nodes removed during surgery and I am unable to lift with my right arm or I risk getting lymphodema. Any ideas on how I can tone up my arms without lifting weights?

    I have this same issue (also right arm). Plus when I do work the arms, I have an implant under the chest muscle, so that breast gets firm (not good! that's one area I don't want to get too firm lol) because there is no fat tissue covering it. I hope you get some answers to this one! I've been doing lots of cardio, but I'd like to incorporate more strength in ways that will be healthy for me.

    Maybe something like yoga or pilates or tai chi, perhaps dance? But make sure you are doing the right warmups/pre-excercise movements for your issues.

    What about tricep dips? Would you be able to do those? You could use the sofa, a chair or some stairs to do them from :)
