Go for daily leisurely walks, if you can do it in the morning on an empty stomach that is the most ideal for losing weight. Daily walks are scientifically proven to do wonders for your mental and physical health.

Also, please dont' neglect stretching, its so damn important.

the most important tip i can give you is DIET,DIET DIET in fact don't do anything until you can maintain healthy eating habits. And first of, I'm not talking about FAD diets like KETO, IF etc. Stay away from them because of their restrictive nature but I mean eat healthy foods that you TRULY enjoy eating and stay way from junk. Then make a habit of eating clean with the occasionally cheat meal every once in a while. Preferably eat less calories if you want to lose fat or if you want to build a lot more muscle eat more calories.

Second, resistance training, try to incorporate more bodyweight movements and ditch the "mini-weights" and excessive cardio. unless you cant do high intense exercises due to health issues don't shy away from weights (it is so common for girls to avoid weights because they think they will become hulk. don't believe that bullshit) you actually have to build muscle to tone your arms, because lifting "mini weights" frankly wont do anything unless your progressively overloading (adding more weight).

If you put a lot of emphasis on cardio you end up being "skinny fat". And the majority of the weight you'll be losing is water. But cardio is great for long term heart health so its important.

Beware the "Spot-reducing" shitck. You said you wanted to "tone your arms" hopefully you don't mean you just want to remove fat from that specific area so that muscle will show because that's not how the human body works. you cant pick your abs and pick specific exercises for your abs in hopes of removing fat from there because...that wont work. your body randomly takes fat cells from random places in your body.

I got a step board and I’m doing some really basic step aerobics! Even though it doesn’t really involve arms I’ve noticed toning and fat loss over my whole body. I just do 30 minutes a day every weekday. I’ve been working on increasing the length (started with 5 minutes and worked up to 30) and pace and have gone from roughly 96 bpm up to 115. My goal is to get to 130 bpm.

There are tons of routines on YouTube for free and step boards are like 50-60 dollars on amazon

Hey girl! I'm an avid gym goer now tho I didnt used to be 2 years ago, and my goal was to lose weight and tone up (and I'm looking pretty damn fine these days 😉). First thing is to address your goal, do you want to lose fat or gain muscle? Here's the cool part, the more lean muscle you have the more fat you burn. Dont overdo cardio, so less running and anaerobic exercises, because even tho you'll burn some fat, you wont build much muscle for that nice toned look. In fact if you over do cardio your body will start to 'eat' your own muscle for energy and there goes all your hard work. 3x a week is good unless you're a competitive runner. Next tip, dont get on the scale. Ever. You are going to gain pounds because muscle is heavier than fat. Its a good thing. Next, my best advice is to join a gym and find a trainer who can teach you how to do certain exercises correctly so that you're targeting the right muscles. Bodybuilder. com has a lot of simple workouts to try as well. I'm just one of those people that needs to see someone else do it and then copy them after. The thing about weights and weight lifting is you wont turn into a man-looking thing by working out. But the cool thing is theres 3 compound exercises that will help you burn fat even after you leave the gym: squat, deadlift, and bench press. See once you get off the treadmill you stop burning calories, but with those 3 compound exercises, it uses multiple muscle groups and will keep burning calories long after you're done at the gym (look it up, tons of articles). Last piece of advice is when you do workout, dont do the same exercises every day and work the same muscles everyday. Your muscles need time to heal in order to get stronger. A good rule of thumb is 48-72 hrs. I like to do every 3 days and split what I workout into 3 groups: legs, biceps/back, then chest/triceps/shoulders. I do abs/core every other day. If you workout your muscles like this consistently you'll see results in 2-3 months guaranteed. Oh and last thing... a good one for your arms: pushups. Just do them. I went from barely being able to to 5 to up to 30 now and my arms look great!

Hey! You can totally do it. I’m just going to start and say good for you, I’m really proud of you! Making those decisions aren’t exactly easy — I’m especially talking about abstaining from social media and deciding to work out. Fitness is incredibly good for ones long term health. I think one important thing is to specify what you mean by “I wish to tone up become prettier and healthier.” Some people tend to give up on difficult days when they don’t have a specific detailed plan and strong why for which they want to achieve their goal. When I say be more specific:

Example: “I want to lose weight.”

Specific: “I want to lose approximately 15 pounds, in [x amount of time]. (Please remember not to beat yourself up if you don’t get the exact numbers right. It’s trial and error, effort and sweat, failures and victories. It’s a journey. Be gentle with yourself.) The plan for how I will do so is: [name x, y, z]. The following is my diet and fitness plan.”

You could look towards inspiration on how you wish to look. However, be careful as this can be detrimental to some women. (They May compare themselves and this would be counterproductive! We don’t want this!)

As for gentle workouts, I am not too sure what to suggest apart from avoiding those high-intensity workouts. Perhaps start so easy you won’t even break a sweat. Don’t do too many reps in the beginning. Just like a child, one step at a time.

I think it will be easy to identify which workouts you need once you have a long term goal or plan set. I hope this helped even a slight bit.
