Don't want to look like a weight lifter!

What is the best way for me to about achieving my goals. Any ideas will be a great help. Thanks

Plug in your co-ordinates and you will get interesting programs. There are some other postings with the same questions, try doing a search. I'm sure you will get some good results. Don't worry you wont get muscular looking. Women don't have the hormones that men have. You will get a nice shape and won't lose weight. ALso you cannot spot reduce, you will shed the extra "flab" evenly. Do you do any cardio, or ab exercises? Good Luck -------------- To change it, or to create it, simply train it! Ivan

Follow FT's tone routine and read the posts in the female forum and you'll get great info. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Unless you have an extraordinary amount of testosterone, which women do not, this will not happen. You will tone and lose fat. this is with resistance training and cardio. And of course proper diet. All work together, and you will accomplish your goals. As Philia said, if you hadn't said post baby, we wouldn't have known if you were male or female.
