Do you do anything extra for your arms? I want to tone up my arms more. My arms feel less flabby with the pilates but am thinking of doing more stuff. I want my arms to look sexy in my wedding dress.

Re: Pilates girls....
I know what you mean, Pilates doesn't do much with the arms... I would say try and do some pushups. Start low level and keep your knees on the ground, and do a few sets. I'm just starting out and I do 3 sets of 10. Then gradually build up where you don't need your knees. I think that is one of the best things for arms with out weights.

Re: Pilates girls....

Re: Pilates girls....
I would maybe try some lightweight exercises. In my pilates mat classes we do alot with the arms. We use the dynabands. I was not a big fan of them, but boy, what a workout I get with them! I heard pushups are great also!
