I am looking for some good exercises to tone my upper arms. If you know of any good exercises to do with hand weights, or any good websites to go to about this, please share.

you can actually start out pretty simply with soup cans or books as weights...then just raise them and slowly bring your arms back down...here's one video I found on YouTube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yf_UATtNspc You can probably find thousands more :) Good luck!

Try www.sparkpeople.com for a whole library of exercises using both body weight and dumbells. There are detailed descriptions along with animated photos or video clips showing the correct position and form. Pushups, pull ups, dips, pull downs, concentration curls, hammer curls, triceps kickbacks, french press, shoulder press, flys, 21s... all are some suggestions. I've built some pretty happy arms and shoulders over the past year =)

Some good exercises involving no equipments are push-ups - reverse and normal. If you want to use equipments such as weights, you can use dumbbells and barbells. Have a wonderful day and happy exercising!

for the arms an excellent exercise are pull-ups. they are so hard to do as you are lifting you whole body. but in time the build very good muscles on your arms
