what kind of food do you eat? it could be swelling on your arms due to water accumulation.

liposuction.

You can not spot reduce fat any other way. You lose fat proportionately. So 10% fat off your arms, is 10% fat off on your stomach or face.

If you really hate your arms, then you might have to consider liposuction.

If you want skinnier arms, you will have to become a skinner you.

i would never do liposuction... thats the fastest way to ruining your body. i have an herbal supplement that i tell my clients to take, it helps reduce water retention in their arms, legs and waistline. You might be eating too much salty food, which could also cause swelling on your arms and legs. if you want to know what it is, you can pm me.

herbal supplements. Not trying to attack here. But you also have to be careful of "herbal supplements". Just because they are herbal/natural does not make them safe.

Check out if they are safe before taking any supplement anyone suggests, especially on forums such as these. No one has to give there names here, there is no proof of credibility.

Buyer beware.

definitely beware of which herbal supplements you take. that's why it is so important to consult with a health professional or seek a nutrition specialist about it first and find the correct supplements for the condition. and definitely need to get it from a reliable company and not just any brand.

The facts are as follows:
1) spot reduction is nearly impossible, although...
2) on a reduced caloric diet, with a proper fitness routine, frequent vigorous massage in the problem area might stimulate increased fat loss in that area
3) when calories in < calories out, you will lose fat rather than gain fat, therefore the solution is to figure out your daily maintainence calorie level and never exceed it.

Doing exercises for your arms wont give you manly muscles. This only happens to females that take steroids and such.

How Do I Work Out?
Hello all,

I have decided to work out on 5/7 and have been doing 2 hrs. per day since. Which is very good for me considering I have no self discipline. I am 21, weigh about 145lbs. (I usually weigh 135) and I am 5'4". If you saw me you would think I weighed 120lbs. Nonetheless I want to have nice muscular legs, a killer back and a 6-pack. I used to run track and had a great body, but no endurance. My new work out consists of;
-30 minutes doing a light walk on the treadmill
-30 minutes doing a very brisk walk on the treadmill (working up to jogging)
-an hour working on machines that enhance my legs, back and abs
My concern is how do I know how much to do on each machine and for how long to get results? I don't necessarily want to lose weight, but I want to be more toned. Since I have changed my diet I have been losing a pound/day. But I just want to know if I am doing something wrong and how patient do I have to be to get cut muscles in those target areas.
