• You should perform a weightlifting routine at least two times a week along with cardiovascular exercises.
• Use lightweights and high reps to tone your muscles.
• YOU CANNOT EFFECTIVELY LOSE WEIGHT AND TONE WITHOUT SOME WEIGHTLIFTING.
Many women believe weightlifting will cause them to become too muscular. This belief is a common misconception. If you lift lightweights with high reps (12-15), your muscle gains will look feminine. Lifting weights will cause your body to gain some muscle mass. Increased muscle mass is NESSESARY to increase your metabolism rate.
