Ok it's not really style and beauty but....exercises for bingo wings

[VersdeSociete]

...and why isn't there a fitness topic?
Have just seen mine sort of lolloping around short sleeves on dress and realised situation more dire than I thought. What can one do? I mean at home not at a gym? helpety, help. tia

pilates - and yes it hurts.

Interesting, mutantgoat. Can one teach self pilates? Could I conceivably get results by time fo exciting party in December? [insanely optimistic emoticon]

Tricep kickbacks - do them with a weight at the gym or at home with a bottle of water.

Here's a clip he appears to be naked but I'm sure he isn't

You should be able to get a girdle for bingo wings

like a tubigrip for children worn under a long sleeved top

Or tricep dips.

lynn robinson dvds are good but ideally you should go to a class. other wise do what the naked man says!

mamag, get yourself on dragons den.

Yes but these girdles won't look so hot poking out of lovely shortsleeved frock...

yes yes to tricep dips

and also one arm rows

start off at 2 lots of 12 for each arm then after you can manage that for 8 workouts move on to heavier weights, increments of 250g

If you don't have weights you can fill bottles with water as saggars says make sure you can grip them comfortably

these do exercie the right muscles but an all over diet and general exercise programme will make your new muscles show throw your upholstery, so to speak. Come and join WWW's healthy threads for support and encouragement

I'll do it! I will start the triceps stuff today, I will join www's thread! I will not encase my entire body in tubigrips as briefly contemplated! (Would have to wear strange catsuit to party, would be horrid)

HURRAH!

i've recently shed 20lbs and started toning up and at the risk of sounding extraordinarily vain, my arms are fabulous, it's one of the first things that begin to show an improvement.

Could you get to a gym and have a induction session with a nice young man there focussing on using the free-weights? That way you can do them at home and not join the gym properly

Wong is very wise. Go to the gym - have free introductory session and then go off to Tesco and pick up some cheapo weights to do at home.

A set of tricep dips using the edge of the loo seat every time you're in there can work wonders

I am gripped by enthusiasm! Thanks for the words of wisdom, wong and saggars. Very excited by thought of having "good" arms. Anyone read Naipaul's House for Mr Biswas? Mr B has thighs like hammocks. Those are my arms...
But not for long!

And weblette!

Try getting around on crutches! I am going to have lovely toned upper arms soon.
