Hello,
I've got flabby upper arms and a once-in-a-lifetime holiday coming up in six weeks. Kicking myself for not starting sooner but ... is there any hope? I have 1kg and 2kg hand weights.

Does anyone know of any YouTube instructions that I could follow for a last-minute attempt at toning my arms?

Also need to work on middle and thighs if anyone has any suggestions, but due to the nature of my clothing, the arms are the most urgent need.

I do a lot of walking and gardening but otherwise am fairly sedentary.

Thanks for any assistance.

I can send you a peloton link? The app is free for 60 days so cancel it on day 59
There's a programme (under workouts, programmes) called arms with Tunde which is 4 weeks long

How kind, @rebel2
I found a free trial (free if canceled before the end date) just now online; thank you for the idea, I'd not thought of Peleton.

The barre classes are really good too for upper and lower body and there's pretty much anything you could want Smile so definitely have a browse on the app
Hannah Corbin 10 min barre looks easy because she's wearing socks but I got burning in places I didn't know I had!

LOL. I found Tunde. Am going to dig out my weights and get started.

Also want to try yoga. What I need is non-flow but beginner instruction in the poses. Finally cleared enough space in the spare room to do all of this.

@rebel2, what do you use for a barre?

If you select yoga, then whatever time on the filters you can sort from easiest to hardest or select beginner (you can pause the classes too, I did today with a yoga flow that was too fast)
I just hold a chair or my peloton! Anything fairly stable will do

Caroline Girvan Iron Series. Free on YouTube and is focussed on weight training with hand weight/body weight.

Highly recommend lift with cee and bodyfit with Amy two YouTubers who do lots of free content and very accessible and both lovely relatable ladies!
