While people complain about their puson, I’m having problems with my flabby arms. The thing is, I have a model thin body and yet my arms are somewhat flabby. I’m using a 2kg weight to tone my arms but I find that while the lower arms are improving, the upper arms — especially the underneath — are not toning very well. Do you know some exercises that I can do? Thanks. :)

hold both weights, raise both your arms and fold them reaching to your back, maintaining your elbows beside your ears, then do it repeatedly, you'll feel your muscles near your armpits working.

another is sit on a stable chair/or at the edge of your bed, place your hands beside your hips, move forward till your butt doesn't touch our chair anymore... use your arms to support your weight. fold and straighten your arms repeadtedly, this is similar to push-ups but in an inverted way.

lastly, stand up, take your right leg a step bak. fold your left knee half way and support yourself with your left hand touching that knee. make sure you are slightly bent forward. then hold your dumbell on your right hand and make sure your elbows are aligned to your waist. then stretch your right arms in a 45 degree angle to your back (bent yourself forward to do this), then fold your arms till your dumbell is near your armpit. do this repeatedly, just make sure your elbows are near your waist when you do this...

do push ups. but instead of doing the usual "wide grip", make sure that your arms are close your body. use your arms and not the chest for pushing your body up. you know that you're doing the right thing if your arms( triceps actually) starts to revolt, hehehe :)

I actually have the same problem...I've done everything nga eh (lifting weights, push-ups....etc.) and yet I still have flabby arms (like the arms of Christina Applegate in that movie - the sweetest thing - have u seen that movie? wherein she shows her arms to Cameron Diaz) I may have to enroll in a gym. :p
