Has anyone's arms toned up?

Yes I can see and feel a difference I use them about 100 circles forward and 100 backwards every morning

It is very difficult to manipulate. I tried it a few times, and ended up with sore arms, or it ended up on the floor. (For me, the concept is great, but not not the reality)

Yes, they made a huge difference in toning my arms so far. I do at least 25 count backwards and forward since I am a beginner. Combined with 4 to 5 pounds weight training and mostly push ups and tricep dips � love it!

Yes, I can honestly say they helped a lot. The best thing about these hoops (versus regular weights) was that they were fun to use and I could stand in front of the TV without missing a beat and watch all my favorite shows. I had never been able to concentrate on just exercising my arms but, like I said, these are fun and I use them often.

Some, but not that much on the hips. You would have to do it alot more than I can find the time to fo it

Not really. The arms are great for armbars. The unit itself was stiff but I bought it for my kids and hubby to practice body throws, lifts and arm bars. Hope that helps. :-)

Yes, I use them up and down my arms...but only one arm at a time. I haven't mastered hula hooping with both arms at once!

I haven't done that yet, but I imagine if you do it long enough without your arm wearing out it would do the job.....

I would think so. At least you hand and fingers will be strengthened. You might want to augment it with a resistive rubber band as part of your exercise routine.

Eh, yes but with limited motion. You likely could not do wide-arm push ups. This may be difficult to explain but I'll try. In the picture you can see two black bars per dumbell; what you can't see is the third one that is essentially in the very center of each dumbell. The two you can see are padded and meant to hold the device together--the padding is to protect your wrists/arms as they bump into the bars often. The center bar is made to be gripped and is at the center of gravity so that you can lift the dumbells without them twisting in your hand. So, with you hands about three inches down into the dumbells the angle would be difficult for wide-arm push ups and depending on which way your arms flare out during close-arm push ups those could be uncomfortable too.

Not that we've noticed. The sleeves are soft enough that the arms still have full range of motion.

There is no adjustment for that exercise, but if you slide your arm down you surely can do finger curls. I just tried it. Happy exercising, and thanks for the suggestion, my fingers and grip love you for it!

I barely bike and use the arm work out at the same time. You can do the elliptical and use the arm . When i bike i just hold the handle. Good luck and have fun

From my experience...never. every doesn't have the same experience though. My button did not grow or plump or enhance in any way, shape or form. I applied extra after a few weeks including squat exercises but it just didn't work 4 me.

yes! I bought mine for exercises. i do a sitting exercise that uses my arms for movement, but you could do what you describe as well.

No. The arms and legs move up and down, but not at the knee or elbow joint.

Yes.I bought it for my legs, & have since used it on my arms. it is an excellent machine for either. Hope this helps. Randy.

There are some push-ups. Depends on the workout you are doing. You can always modify the exercises to suit you. I would suggest If you have a problem with your wrists, you could do an elbow plank instead during the duration of the push up part of the work out. This way you are still working your whole body and not putting so much pressure on the wrists.

You can straighten the arms. It's like wire under some foam. I have been able to pin to the form easily. The actual body feels like styrofoam under the material.
