[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am starting to do more cardio but what is the very best exercise for arms, somehow most of my excess weight goes there and I never wear a sleeveless shirt as as result, second place is the middle, hate the rolls....any advice to all the exercisers out there?[/quote]

OP - with what you're describing your issue is first and foremost, losing fat.  With a "thick middle" I wonder if your insulin levels need to be checked.  Many people who carry weight in their middle (apple shaped) are at higher risk of diabetes.  You would probably be most successful on a super-clean, low carb diet - most especially refined carbs like rice, bread and pasta.  Just don't go there, at all!

You need to really crank up the cardio.  minimum 3 days per week of at least 45 mins of serious cardio. If you don't have a fitness tracker consider getting one.  I have one that tracks my steps/miles - it's super simple, and it's highly motivational for me.  goal is to hit at least 10K steps per day - minimum.

You should also do planks (work up to being able to do a full minute in plank position) and push ups (try to do 3 sets of 10, work up from there or until you literally feel like your arms are going to fall off).  Both are excellent compound, whole body exercises... if done correctly, and really work your core (back and abs), along with your biceps, triceps, shoulders and chest.

You need to be consistent, stick with it. don't get discouraged.  Good luck!
