I heard that the arms are the part of the body that can be sculpted the fastest. In 4 weeks or less, arms can be toned.

Is this true? I admit, I haven't been as good as I should have been about doing my arm exercises, but after hearing this, I'm motivated.

Honestly, it depends on your body type. Apple shaped women tend to carry more weight in their upper body and it can be harder for them to show definition. Pear shaped women have smaller upper bodies and definition can show quickly for them.
Push ups are awesome! Triceps overall are very important but don't forget the biceps and shoulders! Nothing is hotter than a little definition in the shoulder and tricep

Yes that is true!.... I remember back when I was working out for our wedding... within 4 weeks you could see definition in my arms....

Yep, I think it's true. I have chubby arms and just doing chest press, rows and shoulder presses for three weeks I can see a difference. I also recommend yoga - that did a lot for the definition in my arms, too.

I LOVE working my shoulders & triceps...well, and biceps too. I have more of a man's attitude about weight lifting -- I like working the upper body and have to *make* myself do the lower body. I find freakish delight in being able to bench press a big number...

Ok girls, give me your best excercises for your arms. How many reps, how often I should be doing them, etc.

TIA!

My trainer said to do 3 sets of 10-15, depending on how you're feeling, and to do a weight so that at the end of the three sets you feel like you could do maybe one more (assuming you have access to more than one set of weights).
