    The same way guys work on there arms?

    ^^this...lift heavy weights...did wonders on my arms

    Yep! Here's my arms before I lost weight (I gained more after this pic was taken), after about 6 months of cardio, body weight exercise and 5 pound dumbbell workouts, and then after about 7 months of strength training with heavy lifting, low reps.

    Your arms look great. Perfect example of what heavy lifting can/will do.

    I lift heavy and do push ups 2x days a week and joined a row team. I also do cardio 5X a week mostly for lower body exercise (bike, run, walk). I highly recommend lifting heavy but also make sure your form is correct.

    It took me six months to go from 10lb single arm bicep curls to 25lb single arm curls. Instead of getting bulky, I actually lost 1" of flab on each arm. And my clothes hang better on my strong shoulders.


    When I started I bought 3lb and 5lb dumb bells. It is now sitting on my desk as paperweights.

    My arms and shoulders are lean and "toned", as part of my weekly workouts I do:

    - 3 sets of 8 reps of shoulder push press (45lb bar)
    - 3 sets of 8 reps of shoulder press with dumbbells (20lb dumbbells)
    - 3 sets of 8 reps of bicep curls (15-20lbs dumbbells)
    - 3 sets of 10 pushups
    - 3 sets of 10 reps of seated row (60-75lbs)
    - 3 sets of10 reps of tricep dips
    - 5-8 pullups

    Don't be afraid to lift as heavy as you can! You will only lose fat!
