Hey everyone. I exercise a lot but can't seem to get my arms to firm up any. I have severly flabby arms and I know it's from losing and gaining all the time. Has anyone had any luck firming up their arms. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!

Re: Arm flab and exercise
All you can do is continue to lower your body fat and build up the muscle. <shrug>
I've come to grips with the fact I will always have bat wings. LOL But they're gonna be the most toned batwings around.

Re: Arm flab and exercise
I've added a lot of arm work recently. Biceps, triceps, deltoids, pecs -- all of it. On top of that, I'm dry brushing and/or using loofah mitts in the shower to massage all over. Then I massage lotion into the skin, spending a little extra time on my trouble areas. I've noticed a difference just in tone and tightness. Nothing epic, but something is better than nothing!
All of this helps, but does not eliminate the problem. Oh, and drink a lot of water! It helps hydrate the skin!
Good luck.

Re: Arm flab and exercise
Invest in some good dumbbells and do lots of tricep extensions (dumbbell overhead, bent at the elbow behind head and raise)... also some good old-fashioned push ups .. yeah I know, but just do it!
