Arm toning exercises

[Clanger72]

Ok people I've got just over 6 weeks to try & get my upperarms toned enough to be exposed at the works xmas party!

Any tips/advice on the best exercises to do would be much appreciated

I would suggest doing tricep and bicep exercises but more tricep as it hits the "bingo wing" area (not saying you have bingo wings by the way haha). Just google them or use shapefit.com has loads of exercises.

I find bench dips work the best for my arms.

dont know if youve tried them, but tricep press up with your hands in a triangle shape, elbows flare to the side. can really feel it working!
closer the triangle the harder it is

Ive not tried them yet but i read about them in last months muscle and fitness, i might try and fit them in on my next tricep routine.

There is no such thing as 'toning' a muscle group. Spot fat removal, or the idea that you can remove body fat from a particular muscle group by performing weightlifting exercises is completely ridiculous and is one of the largest fitness myths ever created. All you can do is lose fat all over your body and eventually it will come off of your arms. Your body will decide.

Well if you have read the posts no one has said anything about removing body fat from a particular muscle group so why even mention that?

All i have done if give advice on what areas to hit to build muscle in the arm area.
