Upper body Workout
Bow and Arrow - Hold one end of a tube (or a band) in your right hand and stand with your feet on the center of the tube so your legs are wider than hip-width apart and there are a few feet of tube between them. Stretch your right arm down and across so it's in front of your left thigh, palm facing in; relax your left hand down at your side or place it on your hip. Now, keeping your left leg straight, step your right leg about a stride length to the right and bend your right knee as you pull the tube up and across until your hand reaches shoulder height. Stand back up to the start. Complete all repetitions to the right and then do an equal number to the left.
X Raise - Loop a tube around the instep of your right foot and grab an end in each hand. Step your left foot back a stride's length and bend your right knee a few inches. Hold your arms down in front of your right leg, palms facing in, so that the tube has slight tension in it. Keeping your elbows slightly bent raise both arms up, to the sides and overhead, pulling the band tight. Slowly lower to the start.
Push Up - Lie on your stomach with your legs out straight and spread a few inches wider than hip-width apart. Bend your elbows and place your palms on the floor a bit to the side and in front of your shoulders. Straighten your arms and lift your body so you're balanced on your palms and the underside of your toes. Keeping your back straight, bend your elbows and lower your entire body at once. Rather than trying to touch your chest to the floor, lower only until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Push back up.
Dip - Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet hip-width apart, flat on the floor. Place your palms on the floor on either side of your hips, fingertips pointing towards your toes or whichever direction you find most comfortable for your wrists. Lift your butt off the floor until it is level with your hips and your torso is parallel to the floor. Holding this "table top" position, bend your elbows to lower your butt towards the floor and then straighten them back up again.
Biceps Curl - To begin hold one end of a tube in each hand and stand with your feet on the center of the tube so your legs are wider than hip-width apart and there are a few feet of tube between them. With your palms facing up, hold your elbows out a few inches away from your body and bend your elbows until your forearms are parallel to the floor. Keeping your shoulders and upper arms in place, bend your elbows until your hands touch your shoulders. Lower to the start.
I hope this helps.

Along with cardio to burn fat overall, there are several strengh-training exercises which can be done with dumbells, bands or tubes. This site has many good videos which show the chest, back, shoulders, biceps and triceps moves along with written instruction. I also have the upper body weight (apple shaped), and am beginning to get back into some low impact cardio and strengh training. Sticking to a cardio/strengh routine and watching your calories will give you results the quickest.
