I need to loose weight & tone muscle in these 2 areas - need help

My arms are so flabby. I have 4 months, What are the best excersies to do to loose that flab and tone it into muscle?
I have 3 or 5lb weights at home - what can I do?

Also, my stomach,,, I'd like to loose that as well but I know crunches are the only thing

Thanks

To burn fat you need to do cardio. Weight training tones. Do yoga and pilates for good toning exercises. Dumbbells help too. Also get an exercise ball to do crunches.

For arms-weight training is best

There is a good book call buff brides and it has all kinds of weight training exercises for your arms. Check out SELF mags. website also they have great stuff online

For stomach pilates is really good .

Good luck!

pilates is the best thing for toning. and cardio burns the fat (as said above). also, eat a lot of lean protein!!

Push ups for your arms - They tone it up perfectly. Turn your hands different ways to target diff areas of your arms. It's the best work-out you can do, it won't bulk you up, just tone.
