What exercises are you doing to work the flabs away in those problem areas?

I do a full body workout, but I also concentrate on my arms, and thighs.  They're my real problem spots.

I do a couple of different routines that are for all over.  I don't necessarily concentrate on any one specific area.  Two or three times a week, I lift weights (circuit, medicine ball or machines), and about 5 times a week, I do cardio, which lately has been walking.  This past week, I walked 28 miles!

I really havent worked out with any regularity, but I hope to starting this week.

pull ups, dips and push ups.
10 wide arm pull ups
10 dips
10 military pull ups
10 dips
10 chin ups
10 dips
10 paralell pull ups
10 dips
4 sets of as many push ups as I can do.

That really seems to work my upper body, chest and shoulders, which is the area that I dislike the most when it comes to extra skin.

I don't necessarily target anything - I've been told it doesn't really work that way.  I dunno...   but I walk every day, and use the Bean several times a week.  I lean toward the back strengthening exercises often, because they reallly do relieve tension in my back.  I also do the ab workout, even though I don't think anything will help that area for me. 

Bottom line is that I have way tooooo many problem areas...I cover up the flab as best I can...my excersize is done out of necessity...not to work any muscles or lose problem areas...I do it just because I have to...I don't see plastics in my future and I anticipate living with this unsightly arm flab, stomach flab, and thigh flab for the rest of my life...

Excersize:  30-minutes of either very brisk walking or very fast recumbent biking...goal is to burn enough calories to kill off one meal - period!

Exercise?  What is that?  Are we suppose to be doing exercise?   Does working 2 jobs and barely finding time to sleep and shower considered exercise?   Guess the flab is just gonna have to "hang around" a little bit longer.

I work everything as much as possible.  I can't seem to work away the arm flab though.

I walk, I take the stairs.  I don't do much else though.
