If you had four weeks to tone your upper arms, what would you do on a daily basis? Lifting (and pouring) bottles of Cruzan doesn't count!

Roe, mostly walking with free weights. Jorge, your self-resraint is admirable!

If you are walking do some pushups off a park bench and some dips. The bench is just the right height
Do about 3 sets of 12 to start then try to increase to 3 sets of 20............

I like to do a rowing machine if that is an option for you. I change my hand position frequently to use different muscles.

I am not an exercise "freak", but I do exercise. I like exercise vidoes/dvd's and there are some good upper body ones using hand weights. I just need to do those more often.

I think Jorge's "non-answer" would lead to one arm being more muscular than the other......

I do dips, use a rubber band type rope and do bicep curls, use free weights for rows. There are lots of good ones and the arms typically tone pretty quickly, it's the butt and hips that are taking longer...

Boy, does this remind me of a joke, but like Jorge I think I'll restrain myself.

I do a plan from a book called "The New Rules of Lifting for Women." See if you can find this book at the library. Doing isolated tricep and bicep exercises isn't going to cut it for your timeframe ( I can go on and on about creating inefficiencies in your body to stimulate faster results, but I won't bore anyone here). Try doing exercises that use multiple muscle groups, like push-ups, pull downs and rows. There is also an exercise in that book called YWTL that will make you hurt (in a good way). This plan has done good things for my arms, and increased my shoulder definition dramatically. Four weeks should be enough to see some results, provided you are following a healthy diet.
