    Hi,
    Well you really can't spot loose on your weight loss but what can really help is alot of cardio and to tone your muscles is to do resistance training or to weight lift to tone your area's. This means the more muscles that you have the more cals you will burn. Don't worry you won't bulk up if you lift weights to tone if you keep them at a lower weight.

    Do some chair dips to tone. Also, go online and start the hundred pushup challenge! I find both very useful. www.hundredpushups.com gives you the website for the pushups. It's very challenging!

    Let us know your results! and, have fun with it.............

    Hi,

    My 4 year old poked the back of my arms and said, "I like your arms, they're jiggly!" Don't you just love kids!

    I used to hate my arms too but I spent a year really working my triceps and biceps and honestly they are now the most toned part of my body...I kind of like the way they look now. I never thought I wanted to be the "muscle" chick, but there is something empowering about cut arms and being strong.

    Tricep dips are great. I also do tricep push ups and kick backs. Bicep curls. Do a lot of reps. Start light and when the weight you are using gets "easy"..it is time to move up. I used to be afraid of getting bulky, but my arms never bulked, they just started taking shape!
