Hi everyone,
Just wondered if any of you have some good tips for toning upper arm flab? I'd prefer to do exercises that don't involve weights if possible. Any suggestions would be much appreciated - I want to be looking good for those summer dresses!

tricep dips on a chair

bicep curls - don't need weights, just use bottles of water/ tinned tomatoes, whatever

press ups on knees (or not on knees if you;re tough enough!! I'm not!!)

Thanks for that, great suggestions and will be trying them out! I'm also definitely not tough enough xxx

Lifting the DC as a chest press, lie on your back and lift em up and down onto your chest.

Pilates - search youtube for pilates upper arms.

It tones without bulking.

ooh thanks devilwearsprimark - fantastic video! It's perfect as I was looking for more simple exercises, I'm never any good with complicated movements!

And thanks Milly - not sure how the DCs would react at being used as weights ... maybe I'll have to use the old bribing tactics

It really works - it's a bit ouchy at first but you soon find you can do more and more

Pilates is fab for inner thighs too
