Weight lifting?
Question:
Answers:
you can lift for toning, size, or strength. Your strength will decide how much you actually lift. The other thing is how many reps you plan on doing. For toning do 3 sets of 12-15, for size 3 sets of 8-10, for strength 3 sets of 3-5. You might even want to switch it up doing size Monday and strength Wednesday, and then back to size Friday. for toning and size you are going to want to keep the rest between sets from 60-90 seconds. For size you might want to stretch it out to 2-3 minutes. But you are going to have to rest your muscles for a day before working them out again. But if you choose to lift each day then split up your body parts. For example MWF work your arms, chest, and maybe shoulders. TR work you back and legs. This will still work out your body and you won't be so burnt out that you'll never want to lift again. Plus you won't spend all day in the gym. I've read in several magazine that lifting more than an hour at time is time wasted. Below is a website that will help you decide what exercises to do based on muscles. There will be a picture of a bodybuilder with each muscle labeled (don't get scared you won't turn into a musclehead overnight) But each label is link that will give you over a dozen exercises to try.

I usually try to grab an exercise from each muscle group. For example Arms: Bicep: curls Tricep: tricep pushdown Forearm: wrist curl
