| Re: weight lifting ?
I totally disagree. Women don't usually have the testosterone necessary to really get "bulky" so unless you suspect that you gain muscle very easily, then you want to aim for the 10-12 rep range, and as soon as that becomes too easy (the last rep is no longer a struggle) up the weight so that you are continually stressing the muscle. If you're not stressing it enough, it will not respond with strength improvements or tone.
The "light weight, high rep" method isn't good for much other than building endurance, which has its place, but won't efficiently help you with your goals.
