Arm strength training for the beginner

[steinspinne]

Respectfully regarding the previous poster, there is no such difference between "toning" and "bulking". You build muscle and you lose muscle, that's it. Definition (ie: a more "toned" appearance) occurs when you lose enough fat to let the muscle show through, which is more easily accomplished through cardio work.

I am a big advocate of women's weight training. Don't fear the free weights! Go to www.stumptuous.com and follow the "iron" link. That woman's knowledge supercedes anything that I may be able to cram into one post alone.

Good luck!
