    Just keep at it, it'll balance out =] unfortunately you can't target weight loss. Really wish you could because my theighs are huge!

    You can't spot reduce, but you can make the muscles underneath flab a little tighter. bicep curls, push ups, tricep dips - try them all. Good luck!

    Upper body? Push-ups... they will hit your chest, back, biceps and triceps. You can also add a little cardio by doing burpees.

    I'm finding that Wii boxing, the trainer w/ punching bag, really works out the upper body! :)

    Shaun T's Insanity has an excellent upper body workout. Good luck and keep up the good work!
