If i could tone these arms down i would be so happy i mean really happy. I lift small weights but it seems not to help or maybe im not doing it right. Somebody please give me advice trust me i will follow. I want to reach my goal of being 160 by the end of the year. Thanks for the advice.

Be consistent in eating a clean diet, doing your cardio and lifting regularily and eventually all teh fat will go :) -------------- A man of sense is never discouraged by difficulties; he redoubles his industry and his diligence, he perseveres and infallibly prevails at last.

I have some rotator problems, so I was always a bit apprehensive about adding too much, but found that that problem is often related to muscles not being strong enough, I tried and it seems to work fine and less problems with the rotator --of course, that is something you have to be very careful with and get professional opinions on prior to if you have had problems in the past, but the heavier weights made a noticable improvement and arms are looking better ever day. -------------- Veda It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. - Mabel Newcomber Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. - Napoleon Hill

But you really cannot dictate your body in witch zones to reduce the fat. Weight lifting can help you to, try it. -------------- The product that helped me: http://xrl.us/fatloss89 My site: http://ovylord.instantaffiliatewebsite.com/instantaffiliatewebsite/ My blog: http://ovylord.wordpress.com/
