How long does it take to tone upper arms?

[WellTidy]

I am about a stone and a half over my ideal weight. I’ve lost half a stone so far in a month, through lots of walking and healthy eating and I am more going to keep that up.

I would love to be able to wear sleeveless tops at Christmas events without my upper arms looking fat. I should this achievable or not? Ive never done any exercise for arms and have no idea how long it would take to see results. i have a set of hand weights and would be doing the exercises at home.

I need to do this, how heavy are your weights and what do you do? Just lift up and down?

I'm no expert, but I'd say make sure you're lifting quite heavy - at the end of 12 reps, the last few should be very difficult.

There's all sorts of exercises you can do:
planks
press ups
shoulder press
chest press
tricep dips
kick backs
bentover rows
weighted arm circles
upright rows
etc etc etc

Take a look at Fitness Blender for some free workouts. If you're lifting heavy, you'll be amazed at your progress.

Thank you. I should have qualified my comment that I hAve a set of hand weights. But theyve never been taken out of their case!
