Hi,
Can someone tell me how to tighten the flab under the arms??Thanks

i began to notice a big difference in my upper arms after i started wearing wrist weights. i go to aerobics classes 3 times a week, and once i started wearing weights for them it really made my upper arms alot tighter and firmer.

also, using dumbells to do some moves for your tricep muscles helps. i take a 5kg dumbell (try to increase the weight as you get stronger) and raise it above my head, then whilst keepin the arm lifted you bend at the elbow as if the weight is going down your back, then push back up until you're in the position you started in. then repeat with the other arm. haha, sorry, that sounds really confusing but its the only way i can describe it. you can easily find out some techniques for tricep moves on the web or in books, or by asking someone at your gym.

also pressups are good for toning the arms, and if you place your hands facing in towards each other it targets the tricep muscle

I'd say tricep kickbacks with dumbell and tricep dips.

Tricep kickbacks are really your arms doing the work not your legs(I was confused with the concept). If you just type in a search on tricep kick backs, there is a great illustration and demonstration on how to do the exercise. Oh, and i'm sure you can find one on tricep dips.

YEs, Jessica is right, the movement is very strict on the arms, or the tricep in the kickback alot like the kickbacks for legs. Look up the exercises like she suggested for the best illustration. I can give the basic idea here.

Tricep kickbacks involve either leaning on one side a flat bench with one arm and your body paralell to the ground OR standing up with your upper torso bent paralell with the ground, knees slightly bent. I like to just use the bench for support. You have a dumbell in one hand raised against your torso; your elbow in line with your bent upper body then you simply extend your arm backwards without moving your upper arm, just the forearm to isolate the tricep muscle movement only. Bring the arm back to starting position and repeat reps.

Tricep dips can be done two ways; one is having a flat bench behind you while your hands hold onto it, legs straight in front of you so the weight is on your arms and heels; then you lower and raise your body using your arms.

But I like the other way, which is using the tricep dips apparatus at the gym; it's two paralell bars you raise and lower your body on only intil your shoulders are paralell with your elbow. It is a bit hard to do with your own bodyweight at first, I couldn't do them either so I used the weight-assisted version machine intil I didn't use too much weight help, then I started with only a few with my own weight intil I built it up a bit.

The flat bench method is a bit easier for beginners and it's very effective too.
