I just have a question about working out. I purchased the an aerobic tape that does cardio with
some strength training. I would like more than what they offer for my arms. I enjoy the tape. I just
want to add more to my arm workout. I plan to do my tapes in the mornings before going to work.

I wanted to know if it is ok to do the tapes with the little that they offer for arms and then do more
strength training (similar to the work-at-home section here) after work in the evening. My arms are
fat. My goal is not only to slim them down, but also tone them up.

thanks,
sweetbrown (female, 200 lbs, goal:weight loss and toning).

Do the aerobics with very light weights - it will recruit different fibers than heavier weight lifting will. Definitely work out with more resistance later to get more results, but also work the rest of your body with heavier weights so you become a firmer version of yourself, not just a smaller, flabby version of yourself.
Look to your diet for a lot of your results, it really matters.
Good Luck!

Just stick w/your program, it takes time.
SET SMALL GOALS-LIKE 6 WEEKS OUT.
You will get the results you want.
