I have "fallen off the wagon" so to speak!  I usually try to walk at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.  We have been camping a few times this summer and I have taken my bicycle to ride but its been so hot that only makes me lazier!  Hopefully whenever it cools off I can get back with it!

Yep - I work with a personal trainer 3 times a week, I train with a coach for figure skating 2 - 3 times a week.  And on my "off" days I try to walk a mile on my treadmill and bike a mile on my stationary bike, then do a 20-30 minute stretch session - most of this at the moment is to rehab an internal rotator.  I'm hoping to get back into my pilates and tae-bo tapes on some off days.

With arm flab - need to do some moderate cardio (walking, running, biking, etc) to help reduce fat/weight, and do some arm toning exercises with light weights (3-5 pounds to start) - bicep curls, tricep curls, tricep dips (on stairs), push-ups (can be knee push-ups).  Start with doing 10-15 reps, 3 rounds.  To break it up, you may want to alternate with 10-15 crunches and work your abs.  Don't forget to do some light stretching after your weight lift.  Also, try to eat some quality protein within 20 minutes after weight training to provide your body with some of the compounds it'll need to build/tone the muscles you just worked.

If your goal with "arm flab" is just to get rid of the fat, then just lose weight.  Your body will use up fat equally throughout your body as it burns the calories away.  There is no way to specifically target fat on any part of the body.  You can target a zone by toning the specific muscles, but if there's a layer of fat in the way, you won't be able to see the muscle tone as well until that fat's gone.

I started seriously working out (cardio only) about a month ago; added strength training about 2 weeks ago. 
What I do is this:
          Day 1:  20-30 minutes cardio, then 15-30 minutes strength training
          Day 2:  Cardio only
          Day 3:  Cardio only
          Repeat
I put 2 days of "rest" between each major strength training day.  The cardio activity varies; on some days I walk, others I swim, still others I do aerobics.  I've lost a total of 6 lbs so far.  Kapeh12 listed several good exercises to do; push ups are especially recommended, since they work your arms, shoulders, and abs.  If you lack space on the floor for knee or regular push ups, or have difficulty with them, try wall push ups to strengthen your muscles.

For extreme fat burn, water jogging is excellent if you have access to a pool.  Done properly, you can burn 11-13 calories every minute!  The deeper the water, the better.

Yes I exersize.  Walk four miles a day and  than I have this exersizing equipment that helps you work like sit ups I guess. I lost a lot of wait when I could speed walk I lost more wait and her where I am now I can't see to loose that belly. I am a very active person I don't like sitting around doing nothing. I have ducks and chickens and a horse and several dogs and one cat to take care of as well.

I get up around noon, then jog into the bathroom.  This is just the first stop on my rigorous circuit training plan.  Next it's off to the fridge for a totally unhealthy meal, and then another jog to my couch.  I lift the remote at least 50 times a day and my fingers are getting a workout right now!

I started p90x at the beginning of this summer. It has really helped toning me up, including my arms. Doing 12-15reps of lower weight curls, skull crushers, tricep extensions, and other lifts like that will help.
