I'd suggest aerobics - slims you all over. Walk fast and pump your
arms. Consider buying a treadmill for your house. Try to work up to
one hour daily. Who has the slimmest arms? Marathon runners - their
arms look like sticks. Note - the amount of fat you can pinch under
your triceps (below biceps) is a good indicator of overall body fat
for women. The ideal: less than one inch. For men, it is their
waistsize - size 40 is considered obese for men, 35 for women.

Hi all --

More questions on diet and health. This time, exercise. I know you cannot spot
reduce; that's been proven. However, I'm wondering if there are any good
exercises that seem to slim the arms a bit? Mine aren't exactly big, they just
look a little pudgy and undefined -- especially from the back in sleeveless
things.

Is this just a matter of cutting down on body fat all over or are these things
I can do in addition to regular health management?

Is there something I can do from home for this? Weights? Push ups? I just don't
want them to get bigger (I tend to bulk easily so please keep that in mind).

Thanks!
