[quote="pef1996"]I do agree that you need to pick weights that you can lift and lift comfortably. If you try working with something that is too hard, you'll give up too easily. Sometimes I feel stupid lifting say 30lbs when the guy next to me is lifting over 100lbs, but everyone is different. Good luck becoming lean! That's my plan![/quote]

Especially with women, the combination of cardiovascular exercises and light weightlifting is what is going to give you that lean look you're striving for. If you're strictly looking to tone up and lose weight, I would estimate that 60% of your time spent at the gym should be devoted to different forms of cardio, while the remaining 40% should be spent doing high repetition, low weight lifting exercises.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Patti</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat Dec 27, 2008 3:36 pm<span class="gen"></span>Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I agree, women typically don't have an issue with really bulking up.

We don't have the right hormones for it (we don't produce enough testosterone). Women actually experience the opposite, and tend to get lean with weight training. <br /> <br />New training clients of mine often have this misconception with they first start. After a month or two, though, they quickly see the results they want and are "converts". <br /> <br />So my advice to you is lift weights. Get in there with the guys and mix it up; use the dumbbells and bench press. If that is too intimidating, then do it in the comfort of your home. But whatever you do, lift weights. It is the most effective way to get the results you are after, and you'll find yourself looking like a swimsuit model and not a "weight lifting champion of the world."</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>WheelyFamous</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2008 11:25 pm<span class="gen"></span>Post subject: Challenge w/ muscle mass</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I struggle with training to tone up and lose body fat which ends up having my muscles bulk up.
