    ive got uber flabby arms >________< it's like no matter if i lose weight, i never lose from my arms! so unlucky, i do weights wen i can be bothered- but not the way guys do it because that'll just make ur arms look muscley and madonna like. but i cant really explain how i do it either.. hahahaa :b i heard that ppl get massages done too.. or putting oil on ur body and just constantly rubbing/pinching the fat
     
  3. ummm... i heard doing light weights is good for toning arms... but if u want reall bulky arms then do heavy weights maybe...

    Push ups? And none of those "girl style" cheats either. It takes a while to get used to your own weight but once you get the hang of it it's very effective. It also tones back muscle (trapezius and rhomboid groups) and chest muscle (pectoris group)

    i would not believe in the rubbing fat off thing...

    id think that you already know pretty much the answer to ur own question

    u can not have a "toned up" arms, and flabby body.
    its all about body fat percentage, its just that some areas seem to store up fat more ( like stomach)
    so if u just lower ur body fat percentage, ur arms will " tone up"
    if my definition of "tone up" is the same as urs, i would think u would need a bit of muscle.

    u lift weights when u can be bothered too...
    thats not going to do any good, ur body wont change (unless ur genetically gifted) by just randomly picking up weights
    u need to follow a program, do the same stuff, every week and lgradualy lift heavier.
    (this all sounds so obvious)

    and weight lifting/excercise is not the only thing.
    Nutrition and diet is very important. what ur supose to aim to do is no to eat more than ur body needs
    how do u do that? u count calories, follow a diet.
    just "trying" to stay away form fatty foods wont help (unless ur genetics alow u to). and fatty foods isnot the source to all ur problems( but than this is another essay to talk about)

    o about looking musculey, its not easy, (unless its in ur genes)

    t-nation.com
    bodybuilding.com

    if u really wanted to change u would do some research
    but i doubt it, id doubt you would even read everything i jsut typed

    if u really want to change, u have to really try,
    just cant "want to" and be not willing to do what it takes
    if u put in a halfass effort, you'll get a halfass result

    im sorry, i geuss im just venting... ranting about these typical people i always meet

    maybe ur different, i really hope so

    but, yeh already know the answers, i bet theres nothing new to u in the stuff i wrote

    go get it!

  7. for girls light weights , ya'll notice results within a couple weeks but u have to be persistant and once you've done them properly they'll stick for years unless you're packing on pounds

    my arms are gettin pretty toned atm, i usually do like 30 25 pound curls on both arms and then like 50-100 reps of 15 pounds each day, along with other freeweight exercises to build my triceps, shoulders and forearms. Also, running like 30-45 minutes a day is a good way to lower your overall body fat amount, there arent really any cardio type exercises that specifically targets your arms to my knowledge, but running should help if you do it enough.

    since your a girl, you'd probably just want to stick with low weight freeweights, girls with large biceps look pretty weird imo

    i have no problem with my arms. i figure that i need to work on my chest area. now that is an area which is quite hard to tone.

    use light weight ( <10lb)
    3 series of 20 repetitions of the same exercise with your arm AT LEAST 3 days a week

    do that with 3 differents exercises, each focusing on the biceps, triceps and shoulder.

    after 6 month, you should see some result.

    Of course you have to watch for what you eat too.

    If u go to the gym, spend 20-30 mins on the rower, that work wonders, if not use weights n tricep dips etc. Unless u work intensively ur nt gona bulk up using weights, jus gona have nice toned arms!

    best way is to use light weights and to loads of reps to tone up ur arms.
    i prob suggest 8 kgs as a starter and keep it on 10 kgs max with dumbells.
    and if u have a bendy bar which i cant really explain properly lol but for those who go gym or work out should know , u should use that as well to take off some flab of arms if ur a guy that is.

    for gurls mainly use dumbells cos u dnt want to bulk up ur arms to much

    hope this helps

    ps. tried protien shakes ? might help =p
