As other people have mentioned, I'm not sure why so many women are afraid of lifting weights. As long as you aren't lifting to heavy there's no risk of injury or ending up looking like SHE-MAN.
Cardio only burns fat and doesn't promote muscle growth. You need muscle growth in order to be toned and lean to PUSH OUT the fat. So that means lift weights ladies. High reps with lift to moderate weight.
Also weight lifting burns as much and sometimes more calories as cardio. Not to mention that the more lean muscle you have the faster your metabolism. Don't forget you also need to combine any workout program with a good diet plan if you want to shed those extra pounds.
Also with weight lifting it allows you to eat more. BUT HOLD UP.... That doesn't mean eat anything or everything.... STILL consume foods with nutritional value.
In order to see significant change ladies, weight lifting will get you there faster and you'll look much better.
Only weightlifting: Bulky
Only cardio: slim but not tone and lose tight/firm body
Weight Lifting and Cardio: New muscle and you lose fat faster
Remember foods with nutritional value your body identifies as something that can be used and beneficial towards your body. Yet foods that doesn't have nutritional value your body will immediately identify as fat and that is NO BUENO!!
