Strengthening arms/upper body

I am going to start doing push ups, but what else can I do that doesn't require a gym/equipment? My legs are strong from running but my arms are shameful.

Do you have access to weights? I bought a small pair of dumbbells for cheap at Target. You can do so many exercises with them!

Also, if you can afford I would recommend a kettle bell. You can get some really great total body workouts using one!

Can you recommend a good kettlebell brand? I just got a book and a DVD for kettlebells but I don't know which one to buy. A lot of them seem to have mixed reviews online

I really need to do something about my arms..... they are the part of my body that I hate the most!

TIA!
