Best convenient and painless arm exercises .I know .. ( what U want to do is lift and tighten the arm OPENING like a sweater lol .... so really we're talking about working the outer shoulder muscles , triceps and the back muscles ... )

1) Swimming

2 ) pushups ( yeah they suck ... but theres NOTHING wrong with the " girlie " version ... it stretches Ur shoulders , gives U great posture and U can do them watching TV during commercial breaks !

3 ) these two are great using any ( sturdy ) doorway in Ur home ... pullups using Ur fingertips on the molding

4) and putting Ur elbows and forearms perpendicular to the floor ( along the doorjamb) U can Use Ur weight and mimic the action of a popular pec -deck nautilus machine most people go to the gym to use ... gives U a nice stretch and works Ur pecs so lifts boobies at the same time as working Ur shoulders and arms and improving posture

5) the old faithful hang Ur butt off the couch ( or Ur computer chair ) tricep dip . works even using the ARMS of a sturdy chair if Ur lazy ;) - now if U roll Ur shoulders around and tuck them UNDER while Ur doing this Ure also dramatically improving Ur posture and line ....just pretend Ur cracking nuts with the muscles along Ur spine ;)

Thanks for the ideas! Yes, I have my own personal sweater hanging off my arms! lol :)

I'm doing lots of pushups in class, but I will add more work at home. Love the couch idea.

For the third week in a row I have been at the gym 5X a week.   Very happy about that.  Have gone every day this weekend and yesterday did an hr between the dreadmill and the elliptical.  Yeah!!!!

I do look forward to what I will be able to accomplish post surgery!
