Arm workout

I have no gym membership to start with. I am looking for a great arm routine to tone, strengthen and lose fat on my arms. I only have 2 and 5 pound weights right now. Suggestions?

    Unfortunately, you can't isolate specific parts of the body for fat loss. The body will take energy from fat cells in a somewhat random fashion. A calorie-deficit diet/fitness plan and some patience will help diminish the fat cells in your arms.

    Regarding the strengthening part, you can isolate the arms with exercise. There's a website ... http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/ ... which allows you to filter exercises by the muscle groups (such as biceps and triceps), the equipment you have available, and exercise type (strength). Each exercise comes with pictures and videos.

    I would suggest hitting the triceps a bit heavy, since that makes up most of the musculature in your upper arm. Various tricep presses and extensions are probably your best bet to start. I suspect that you will need to increase weight though (probably 8 lbs. and 10 lbs. are going to be items to add to your Christmas List to Santa Claus).

    Hope this is of some help! Best o' luck to you.
