Tonig Upper Arms...

Well, when we ordered my dress last weekend, I asked my mother if I looked fat and she told me the only thing that looked fat was my arms. So...Does anyone know some good exercises for the upper arms?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

In the newest InStyle Wedding magazine (with Nikki Cox on the cover) there is an entire article about toning arms and it gives some great workouts to do. Also in the new Allure Bride there is a section on arm exercises as well. You should pick up those magazines. I found them very helpful.

Good Luck!

i believe you have to lose fat all over by doing cardio, and then you can tone that area by doing strength training....but you can't just do arm exercises alone and expect the fat to disappear.

This is true. Diet will shed the fat over the muscle. Weight training, done correctly, will increase muscle size.

That's what I am trying to do - firm up the muscle. I have no muscle tone whatsoever in my arms!
