MikeCFT answered Friday January 20 2006, 10:23 am: I know everyone wants to hear about some magic pill or curling exercise that will just zap fat off their arms. Unfortunately there isnt. The secret is- There is no secret. Now I could get into the complexities of targeting fat cells and all that crap but I'll give you the simple version- Diet. Diet is where everything is at, not curling. People say training is 90% diet and 10% training. Its really all 100% diet. [ MikeCFT's advice column | Ask MikeCFT A Question ]

For your legs you can lift weights,run/walk ride a bike or try swimming.. FOr your stomach do crunches and sit ups..Also for your arms you can do push ups.. ♥Dez [ ThugGirl041790's advice column | Ask ThugGirl041790 A Question ]
Alin75 answered Friday January 20 2006, 6:28 am: You cannot target fat loss off anywhere on your body. The human body cannot do that, you can either lose weight overall (at which point fat cells will be burnt from all over) or not at all.
So, dont bother targetting only your arms, it will have no effect (other than at most tightening the area up a bit).
As far as weight loss is concerned, weight training is excellent because of its effect on your metabolism. Here is a link to a site which has a whole bunch of exercises for the whole body: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Just click on the muscle you want to train. Sorry if this wasnt the answer you wanted, it really would be so much easier if one could localise fat loss... unfortunately one cant. [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]
