Thanks so much JohnP. I checked out those sites and they explain perfectly...even better that it has videos that demonstrate. I've stuck it in my favorites folder and am going to incorporate it in my evening workout.
fitness4life- I have embraced an overall lifestyle change. I have come to terms to why I gained the weight and am dealing with that aspect of it. I am on a total lifestyle change with my diet and exercise. This post might have came off as I was wanting to just concentrate on my arms but that's not it at all.
I also do cardio everyday and weight training. I was just wanting to incorporate some good arm exercises in my evening workouts as I do various things each day. But thank you for all the advice and suggestions. It never hurts to reflect on all that stuff again to make sure I'm on the right track for the right reasons so I won't have temporary results.
Indiblue- not to sure what planks are, but I am going to do some research to find out. Thanks for the tips!!
