working out

sweetbrown Posts: 11 Joined: 2003/10/16	2003/10/21, 10:02 AM 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).

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! -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results "You do or you do not. There is no try." - Yoda
