I know that I can do bicep and tricep curls but nothing seems to work. |

I get really frustrated living in the UK because it seems my body type is completely different than everybody's. Hourglass doesn't seem to exist over here and I'm resigned to the idea that I'm going to have to get everything I buy over here tailored because nothing fits me. |

| | | i do these everyday
three reps of ten with five pound weights
course it took a while to work up to that point
but it seems to work well for upper body toning Exercise 1 - Chest and Shoulders
Lie on your back and grasp your weights with the palms of your hands facing up, and your arms outstretched to the sides. With your elbows slightly bent, lift your arms above your chest until your hands are almost touching. Return to starting position and repeat. Exercise 2 - Chest and Shoulders
Lie on your back and grasp your weights with the palms of your hands facing up, and your arms outstretched above your head. Grip your weights and bring them over your head and down to your hips, by your sides - a semi-circular motion. Lift back to starting position and repeat. Exercise 3 - Chest and Back
Sitting with your back straight (preferably supported) and legs straight out in front of you, hold your weights in at your chest with your elbows out to the side (parallel to the floor). Push your arms out straight in front of you then pull them back in. Repeat. Exercise 4 - Back and Shoulders
Stand with feet shoulder width apart and arms by your sides, gripping the weights with palms facing outwards. Making sure your movements are slow and concentrated, tense your shoulder and upper back muscles, then slowly "shrug" them up and down. Exercise 5 - Shoulders and Upper Arms
Stand with feet shoulder width apart and arms raised straight up above your head, grip your weights with your palms facing behind you. Slowly bring your arms forward and down, without bending at the elbow, until level with your shoulders. Lift back to starting position and repeat. Exercise 6 - Upper Arms, Shoulders and Back
Standing with feet slightly apart, position your arms straight down in front of you almost against your body - with your weights almost touching. Bend your elbows and lift your weights towards your chin, bringing your elbows out to the side, in line with your shoulders. Return to the starting position and repeat. Exercise 7 - Arms and Chest
The classic push up. With your hands shoulder width apart place your palms on the floor. Stretch out your body with either your knees on the floor, or if you're feeling ambitious, your toes - so you are supporting your body weight. Keeping your back straight and using your arms lower yourself gently toward the floor until you are hovering just over it. Push yourself slowly back to your starting position and repeat. Remember - don't lower yourself to the point where you come into contact with the floor, it'll be much harder to push back up. Exercise 8 - Arms
In a sitting position with your back straight, relax your arms in line with your body. Grip your weights with your palms facing upwards and curl them up towards your shoulders, then back down again. Repeat. Keep your torso still and back straight, let your arms do the work. Excercise 9
Lay with back on the floor. Hold weights to chest with forearms perpendicular to body and elbows pointing outwards. Push weights upwards away from your body and slowly bring them back down towards your chest. Excercise 10
In a standing position, holding weights, extend arms straight out from your body in front of you. Bend at the elbows, and extend arms back. Return to previous position (elbows bent). |

| | | You cannot spot reduce. Doing arm exercises will tone the muscle on your arms but won't get rid of excess fat there.... the only way to get rid of fat is to lose weight all over! |

All true, but you can expect to repeat it several more times before the year is out. Some people just don't get it. |

You can tone up and make your arms look better, but you will likely increase the circumference of them, not decrease. Just start loving your fat arms. |

| | yep, im just backing up shyviolet, vegyrex and everyone else. absolutely impossible to spot reduce, all you can do in that specific area is tone and/or build muscle, which wont be too apparent unless the extra bodyfat in the area goes anyway. meaning losing weight all over, meaning CARDIO.
weight training will more dramatically change the actual shape of your muscles and body in general, but that's assuming your bodyfat is at a level at which those changes can be seen. cardio only will simply make you a smaller version of the way you are now. so BOTH are essential.
cardio to lose weight all over, weight training to tone/build/strengthen. tried and true and ridiculously simple equation which can be applied EVERY SINGLE TIME.  |

For example, I find that the little bit of arm fat in the front near your pits can be tightened up really easily. When you build the muscle it will stop drooping in certain areas to a certain extent, but like you said, it will not reduce. |

And the more muscle mass you have the more fat/calories you will burn in the long run. So that alone will not make you lose fat, but it will help.
As a side note, one of the things I have observed about lifting weights is that women really really undershoot. I hear so many women say they don't want to look like body builders and so they will do bicep curls with 3 pounds (or really name any upper body strengthening exercise). To get results you need to actually lift something heavy. Women don't get bulky muscles. Hilary Swank had to lift weights for 3 hours a day for MONTHS before she got to be as "big" as she was for Million Dollar Baby (and frankly, I don't think she's even looked better, but that's another story). When you do weights you should be fighting for your last 3 reps (in a set of 12). Then you'll know you're lifting enough. |

| | | Green tea or supplements, modifying diet, take 1 day a week every week and eat nothing solid, do squat exercises. Squats will use larger muscle groups and enhance fat burning more than arm curls.
And yes, spot targeting is a myth. It depends more on your genetics as to where the body will burn fat first, but eventually it will take from your arms. | |
