Arm Exercises?

[NCDisneyMom]

Hi all! I hope someone here can help me. In the past year, I've lost almost 45 pounds, through general diet and exercise. I'd like to start "toning" now. Does anyone have any good arm exercises for toning? Specifically, for the upper arm "wave" (as I like to call it). You know it...that extra skin underneath that "waves" when you lift your arm?? I don't expect to get rid of it completely, but anything that can help tone it up a bit would be a big help. So, any ideas? Any links you can provide? Any and all suggestions are extremely appreciated!!!

I dont know how youre built, but have you tried those exercise bands? They are like big rubber bands with different resistance? I think they give your arms a really good workout. I tend to get big muscles in my arms if i use weights so I like these better.

I've been doing the "speed bag" move from kickboxing exercises. Roll your arms over eachother for at least a minute rest and do several sets. That works out the top part. Do the same move in REVERSE and it will work your under arm muscles. Trust me, after about 30seconds your arms start to burn. Feel the burn, feel the burn! (Sorry, I just got home from Detroit and I'm wired for Steelers football).

in the words of Denise Austin in her workout video Shrink your Female Fat Zones "that is a problem area for ALOT of us women!"

what comes to my mind are tricep kickbacks -- hold a weight in your hand and extend your arm down by your side with your elbow bent, extend your arm straight be moving only at the elbow

and pushups
