1. Focus on exercises that work all muscles in arms, for example bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder presses and bent-over rows. Start with lighter weight and gradually increase it, as your muscles strengthen.
2. Regularity matters. Exercise each muscle 2-3 times a week with breaks of at least 48 hours between trainings, so muscles manage to regenerate.
3. Strength trainings are super, but with body shaping cardio will help you too, for example running, swimming or cycling. These exercises namely support overall muscle definition. Well and you probably already know that local fat burning does not exist, i.e. if you want to lose weight from arms, you must focus on overall reduction of fat mass.
4. Don't forget stretching. Helps maintain flexibility and mobility in joints and muscles, which is useful during exercise, because it allows you to perform exercises with greater range of motion. I.e. better and more effectively you load muscles.
5. Some forms of yoga are very helpful in shaping arms, for example Ashtanga or Power Yoga. Try doing a few "sun salutations" with planks, you will see that it is not just simple relaxation exercise.
