You can try tricep dips. You can google or youtube the videos on how to do them. They really work.

Use a battery of tricep and bicep exercises and plenty of hydration. Youtube is a great resource for finding new exercises.

But do understand that while building arm muscle (biceps and triceps) will do a great deal of good for the definition in your arms, you cannot "burn" away the flappy arms with exercise. It is likely a combination of fat and loose skin. The added muscle will "fill in" some- sort of give your arm a better base- but it won't get rid of the flabby bit per se. (There is no exercise that spot-burns specific fat).

Unfortunately, in order to get the arms you want, you *may* have to resort to plastic surgery eventually.

But as far as the exercises go, the dips are fantastic-- but so are good, old fashioned push-ups (and there are many variations if you're not ready for regular ones yet.)

You can do standing push-ups against a wall if you can't do regular ones.

i use small weights and do curls front and back. then i get a chair and do pushups but not facing the chair. i think it has helped. swimming can be another good choice. goodluck:thumbup:
