It will provide you with the Protein to build your arms (muscles). I don't know your body type but you may want to look into products that help with "Cutting" to help with the more sculpted look.

Yes, Casein protein helps with the formation and maintaining all muscles. It will certainly help you with your arm muscles.

This is going to be quite a workout if you haven't exercised in years. Take it slow and reduce the movements to make it work for you. You can use any of the workouts if you tailor them to your level of ability but know these will be tough anyway.

No. Walking is about the best exercise for this. I guess you could walk while doing the body blade. It will help increase upper body strength though.

Hardly, Anna. I'm a 66-yr-old woman who can manage the unit just fine. Although, your arm would likely get a little tired if working above your head for very long.

Yes. The work out can be done with arm band or weights it is not an aerobic work out it is more of shaping and sculpting while loosing weight

I am a fifty plus gal so I will never see my abs again. It is an excellent workout for the amount of time it takes. It may help you with that, I don't know for sure. Good luck!

Yes, I am a 38 year old woman who has been doing Beast Body and it has enhanced my weightlifting results from P90X. P90X worked well for me. However, the Beast really improved my arms and shoulders. Although I have to say that the leg workouts will leave you sore, but they did not seem to enhance my leg results. I reviewed the DVDs and you are welcome to read my review about what exercises are done. I like to rotate the weightlifting DVDs from Beast Body with those from P90X.

I am not a fitness expert, but I use this in moderate amounts when I'm building up and in light amount when I'm not to prevent loss of mass. I am 57 years old, never in sports or military, and was told I could not build muscles at my age. But proved that to be very wrong, as I built my left arm from almost nothing - to being larger and stronger than my right arm (which also grew, but received less work due to shoulder injury). As my left bicep was so small, I am sure I did not just invigorate the existing tissue. I also make my own protein bars with whey and take CLA.

It depends on what you consider "adjustable" this machine allows you to set workout levels for combined arm and leg exercises. So, if you don't use your arms you can just exercise your legs which I what my wife does. All-in-all a very nice exercise machine that has help me regain much of the strength I lost form several brain abysses.

Hello, I wouldn't use it for that personally. It may cause skin peeling and you would need a lot to be able to do the whole arms. These results usually don't show within the first week or so.

Hello! I do not have this product myself, but I just finished watching some of the sample exercises. It seems that you would want to focus less on the cardio/dance section...maybe just once or twice a week for good measure, and pay more focus to the 'Bum Bum' workout, which is the the main butt sculpting section. I've been in and out of the gym for years and was an athlete all my life, so I know how most types of exercise work for the female body. For example, I've been doing some Tracy Anderson YouTube videos this past week. Although her goal is to get you to be the 'teeniest, tiniest' you, this is NOT my personal goal. I'm tall and thick, with a J-Lo type lower body. I simply wanted to lift my butt back up, give it a rounder, fuller appearance even, and do minimal toning to my thighs and arms. So instead of doing all of her exercises with speed and high reps and NO weight, I strap on ankle weights and do each move in a very controlled and slow manner, only doing about 15 reps of each exercise. This will lift and tone muscle rather that cause it become too compact. And in just a few days I started to noticed lift in my bum, toning on the sides of my legs, and better overall appearance. So I think if you stick to that type of agenda, being sure to really concentrate on the move, really engaging your glute muscles, and not doing everything too fast...and definitely minimizing your cardio, you will get the results you are after. I'm not a certified trainer, although I briefly studied sports med. in college, but I've been working for years on sculpting nice glutes and legs...so I know what works and what DOESN'T work for women. HTH!

I am not certified in fitness training, but I can say I've used a toner like this for years. I had my original device for 15 years before the tension mechanism snapped. It was a different brand and it was designed to be able to use the device for the legs as well. I couldn't find a replacement for the one I had, but this one definitely works for the upper body. My husband is not toned, he's 65 and has had surgery for spinal stenosis. The stenosis has caused irreversible nerve damage in his arms and legs. He has difficulty using the UB Toner because he no longer has the strength that the average man. If your husband is of average strength, this toner will definitely help him. If he's above average in strength and looking to bulk up, this device will help his upper body, but won't achieve the same results that a woman will get, mainly because your husband may need a heavier degree of tension. The tension on this type of device is not adjustable. Just as an example, if you were working your biceps or triceps, as a woman you might use 5-lb weights, whereas a man might use 10-15 lb weights. In summary, both my husband and I use this device. I am at a higher fitness level than he is and it challenges me and provides great results. My husband struggles with meeting the required amount of repetitions, but it is very beneficial to us both for a low impact toning device. I hope this helps!

Possibly, though I'd just use free weights if building muscle is you objective, take a look at the various interlocked dumbbell sets, pricey but will last a life time - just my opinion.

Yes. Legs, arms, abs...just about everything. Works great by itself. You can also get a Pilates box to do even more of the traditional exercises.

If you mean using it as an upper body/arm only trainer, the short answer...yes. But before starting with any new workout regime, consult with your doctor and/or physical therapist. This way you can make the most of this machine.
