Adrian Bryant | 06.28.09 - 5:44 pm
Hey Adrian! I would like to strengthen my arms, but not make them look super muscular. I already have a fair amount of core strength, but my limbs are notably weaker. I just want more practical strength in my arms essentially.
Another thing is: I am a woman, a rather thin woman, and I'm afraid to work out my arms as I don't want to run the risk of decreasing my already little chest size.
So which exercises would be the best to strengthen my arms without decreasing or toning my chest?

Chamila,
you just need to go to Nowloss.com/50 to reduce all the unwanted fat on your body

you are the best judge as to when it's okay to start working out your stomach muscles and i know you are anixous but keep researching and talking to doctors to make sure it's safe and when you feel ready - go to NowLoss.com/abs to work stomach
Adrian Bryant | 06.01.09 - 8:11 am

Thank you very much for your quick response Adrian!
aleksandra | 05.23.09 - 6:58 pm
aleksandra,
LEt get's this straight... whenever people talk about firming or toning they are really gaining muscle but...
As long as you use light weights (NOT TOO LIGHT) and 10-to-15 reps and/or use the same weight every workout then you won't have to worry about building huge or major muscles
Adrian Bryant | 05.23.09 - 6:36 pm
Hi Adrian
I recently found your website and it is exactly what I am looking for!
I am trying to get in better shape and being more active (started running, doing dancing exercises [sort of like aerobics] and eating healthier) and at the moment I am targeting the flab under my arms.
I saw your video with toning the arms using a dumbbell or a milk jug and I started it yesterday.
However, I always *hated* seeing muscles on women.
If I do this exercise more than twice a week, will it build actual muscle instead of tone the arm?
For now I enjoy being active and try to be as much as I can but I don't want to overdo any exercises and build major muscles.
Any help with this question is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for the video as well!

Amy,
Look at this arm workout here
Adrian Bryant | 04.23.09 - 6:51 pm
Hi, Over the past year I have lost 115 lbs..I have been over weight my whole life and I started weighing 344 I am now 230 #'s. The problem I am having is when I started working out I did all cardio no weight trainging and due to this I look like my body is melting. especially my arms a lot of flabby skin what can I do about my arms first.
Amy | 04.22.09 - 7:27 am
Andy,
Go here to get bigger
Adrian Bryant | 03.19.09 - 5:30 pm
I am 5'7 weighing at 125. I look pretty thin, smaller legs and smaller arms. I have done many workouts in the past, but that only got me toned, not increasing my muscle mass. I only have a 12 lb dumbell. Do you have any workouts for me to do to increase my muscle mass ? I'm also trying to fix a problem, im right handed and my left hand is about 2 times bigger, please help me even them out
email: andy_the_aznboy@yahoo.com
Andy | 03.19.09 - 12:58 am
I am a 53 yr old woman and having a hard time getting back in the swing of exercising. I have been watching your videos as well as exercising along with you. They are very motivational and I think you are doing a good deed for people like me who are not ready to go the gym yet. I just would like to say thank you.

jessica,
If you're not overweight - then you'll need this weight loss plan to blast away stubborn arm fat
Ayesha,
Yes - it'll be fine to do arm exercises with light weights but in your case...
You should just focus on losing weight first instead of worrying about other goals for your body
Ayesha,
Using light weights will not make your arms bigger but you won't notice any difference unless you lose overall body fat so the most important thing for you is to get started on one of these weight loss plans here
and as you lose weight - your arms will look smaller ONLY doing arm exercises will not help you
is it ok to have your exercise after breakfast? how about in the evening before going to bed? i mean minutes before going to bed?
rhea,
When it comes to weight loss it doesn't matter if you eat before or after exercise - what matters is how much you eat so just worry about eating the right amount of calories to lose weight
Anytime to exercise is good for weight loss but it's best to workout in the morning on an empty stomach to burn more fat - go here to see why
rhea,
you simply get rid of any type of fat on your body with a weight loss plan so depending on how much you weigh...
GO here and pick a weight loss plan and if you want to...
GO here to firm up your hips and for you...
Try hill sprints to lose fat and firm hips all at once
Lorna,
VA. -USA
rhea,
Before breakfast to burn more fat but if you need energy...
Workout 1-to-2 hours after breakfast
hey,
which is the best time to have your exercise? before breakfast or after breakfast? morning or afternoon?

rhea,
I don't think there's too much you can do to slim down if you're 5'2 & 99 pounds and actually...
You are almost underweight! - look at the height weight charts here and...
the best thing I can tell you is to be happy with your body because YOU ALREADY LOOK GOOD and I don't think you're arms can be that big at your weight anyway but...
the best i can also tell you is to stop using weights so your arm muscles will shrink.
im 5'2 but i think my wight is 99 or 100.
avoiding arm exercise will surely shrink these muscles, but how long will it take?..
hi, how can you slim down your face? and shoulders too. help..
rhea |
12.25.08 - 9:32 pm
rhea,
What's your weight & height?
If you're overweight - then you may just have to lose overall body fat to see your arms thin out or...
If your arms are mostly muscular then...
Going on a weight loss diet while avoiding arm exercises will allow your arm muscles to atrophy (or shrink)
Vee,
the best way to lose any stubborn fat is thru smarter diet & exercise so basically...
the best thing you can do is do this advanced weight loss plan to patiently lose your last few pounds of stubborn fat and...
You can go here to tone love handles
angela,
8-to-12 reps is really the most you need because 15 reps or more is just an endurance exercise and you'll only be getting a temporary muscle pump making your muscles look toned for a short period of time but...
8-to-12 reps with a challenging weight done for 2-to-3 sets with the same weight or very little increase in weight will give you a permanent toning and prevent you from getting bulky
seyi,
If you want to make your muscular arms thinner or smaller then you just have to avoid using your arms so much so the muscles will atrophy or you can stay on a prolonged High protein diet so your body will use muscle for energy (which I don't really advise) but I think you probably look good as you are
Mariah,
If you're overweight then weight loss or NowLoss.com will make them slimmer
PIRLANTAA,
Go here to see how much weight you can lose doing almost anything but YES...
you'll burn calories and lose weight walking
I have a totally Diff. question about loosing weight though.
WIll waling atleast 30 to 1 hour a day be enough to loose calories?
In lie...normal pace.

jazmine,
You need to go on a weight loss plan to lose any fat on your body
Donsaie,
I'm not in L.A. But you can read all about me here
Karla Damron,
For weight loss...
Do this weight loss exercise plan here that will gradually allow you to step up your workout level
PIRLANTAA,
If you're feeling pain or "pulling" in your muscle (or flabby) area then that's okay - you're just working the right muscles to firm up your arms and if possible...
Make sure that ONLY your elbow joint moves (see video again) while doing the exercise
GaCorey E.,
Yes - it could be that you're using too much weight and also...
If you're feeling pain in the elbow joint (and not in your muscles) then you need to simply stop doing this exercise and maybe see a doctor or another thing you can do is...
You can try to do other arm exercises that may not put your elbow joints in pain
Dee,
You should have nicer looking arms by the time of your wedding doing this workout but depending on how overweight you are...
You'll need to go on a weight loss plan to really get rid of arm flab.
Silver,
Anything that you can comfortably hold onto that weighs enough to give you enough resistance to give your arms a good workout are good alternatives for dumbbells and/or milk jugs so...
A heavy book, a heavy purse, or bag filled with objects are good examples
PIRLANTAA,
the weight should be heavy enough for it to challenge you for 8-to-12 reps for 3-to-4 sets.
I can't give you a definite amount of weight because every body is different but generally...
5 pounds is a good start for TRUE beginners, 7-to-10 pounds is good for most everyone and 10+pounds is good for advanced people
How much should it wieght for it to work? And if I do it daily 20x each arm..when will I eventually see results?
Thank you for answering btw ![]()

phenelope,
You get rid of FLAB or FAT or extra weight with diet and/or exercise (cardio) so...
YES - it is possible to get rid of arm flab without cardio but let me tell you this...
Cardio + arm exercisses will help you keep flab off your arms forever plus they'll be firmer
arce,
Try this total arm workout first before opting for surgery
PIRLANTAA,
maybe even better results depending how much the bottle weighs with pennies
Denice Ann,
Yes - you can get the same results using those wrist straps as long as they give you about the same kind of resistance the dumbbells do
Jenna,
Yes - the 5 pound is perfect for you now but once it gets to easy buy the 8 pound dumbbell
pam,
Yes - you can do that and You can try this workout that works the front & back of your arms
pureblkgal,
Yes these exercises will help but the main thing you need to do to make your arms look better is keep losing weight by doing what you were doing to lose weight
Ana,
No but the one called 'get rid of flabby arms with paper towels' works you chest a little bit but it shouldn't build it up too much
Help Me Please,
Do 1 of these 2 workouts below...
1. Workout routine for women to get rid of flabby arms fast
2. How to get sculpted arms like Angela Basset had in the Tina Turner movie
I think this should answer all your questions as to how many reps and sets to do but you're welcome to contact me for help anytime.
Luke,
Do one or both of these exercises...
1. How to get bigger arms & chest muscles without weights
2. The fastest way to gain muscle mass in your arms & chest
and keep adjusting the weight you use until you reach the level of muscle tone you want.
Linda,
You don't want to use light weights - Use moderate-to-heavy weights that'll challange you for 8-to-12 reps.
Think about like this - If you can carry on a good conversation with one of your friends while doing this exercise then maybe the weights you're using are to light but...
Let's say a friend of yours is talking to you while doing this exercise but you really can't pay attention to them becasue you're focused more on doing your 8-to-12 reps then the weight you're using is fine.
i hope this makes sense but if it doesn't - just contact me again for help
Kat,
If you void light weights and use moderate to heavy weights for 8-to-12 reps for 3-to-5 sets... I would expect to see visible results after your 4th-to-5th workout and...
You should only do this 1 exercise twice a week but...
Do this arm toning workout to get faster results
Hi Adrian,
I lost 53 lbs and I am trying to get rid of my flappy arms. Can you advise me on how many pound weights I should use to follow your arm exercises. I have herniated discs in my back so I do not want to use too much weight that would pull on my back.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.

Jane,
Yes, right handed people naturally have more strength in their right arm compared to left arm.
Do right handed people naturally have more strength in their right arm compared to left arm?
