Do you have access to a rower?  That can be very helpful.

I remember hearing that chant in the '60's from a friends' mother who had chanted it in her Uni. of Nebr. sororiety! Of course our entire group of Jr. High girls learned it with giggles and glee.

My mom went out-of-state for her education and didn't know the chant, but laughed at it as well.

Theraband Resistance Bands. Pack of three different strengths on Amazon. If you try them, don't get the rubber ones. Get the other ones...no powder, no mess. You can even use these while you're just sitting and watching TV. Lots of arm exercises plus you can use them for tiponing other places.

This is what I was going to recommend. 

You and @SilleeMee already did, though. 

When I was in Physical Therapy for awhile last Winter, I asked the therapist what was good for toning that specific area and he said to use a resistance band.

I already had some at home and had bought mine from Amzn.

They came in a set of three and one was light and one was medium-weighted and one was heavy.

You can start out with the lightest one. To make it tighter and more resistant you can just wrap more of it around your hands.

They should come with exercises, too.

The therapist had also told me that when you tighten up your upper arm area, you're also strengthening your biceps and your upper back, too.

@JeanLouiseFinch 

Thank you.  Some of these I might be able to do and some I don't think I can.  I appreciate the help!

@SilleeMee 

Thank you.  I used to have some of these but they are probably no good now.

I always wear long or 3/4 sleeves.  I haven't liked my arms for a long time!

I see a lot of women my age who do not have them.  I don't know what they do but they still have pretty decent looking arms.  I don't like them but I guess they are probably here to stay.
