Hi,
Im new here! I have a question - how do you get the lean look? Which exercises should I do in order to get the lean - look?
I'm not comparing myself or anything... but when I mean lean, I mean lean toned muscles like models or women who do ballet. I eat properly and I brisk walk - but thats all I do. Im not really sure if I should start lifting weights. I do not want the gymnist-type of muscle. I dont want to be bulky looking. I just want the toned yet lean look - what exercises should I do?

You are not going to bulk up if you start lifting weights at an endurance level.(8-12 reps / 67-75% of 1 RM) You will simply gain strength and decrease body fat which will in return give you the more lean look you are looking for. You should lift at least 2 days a week. Regarding specific exercises I would recommended doing full body if you are only going to be lifting 2 days a week, or separate your muscle groups if you are going to resistance train more then 2 days a week.

Bulking for women in terms of adding bodybuilder size and look is almost impossible. YOu really need to train very hard eat a lot and well to get man sized muscle take roids. If you weight train, even heavy you will get larger muscles that is just a law of physics, but you will not get huge. I would keep walking and weight train 3x a week.

try doing circuits of big free weight exercises....
squats
pull ups
deadlifts
push ups
rows
dips
i would do 2-3 sets of 10 reps at 70-75% of 1rm....i would do them 2-3 days a week and do 2-3 days of cardio of 30 min at best pace u can do....
if you can get huge from weight lifting naturally...i'll be shocked....with 1/50th testosterone of a male.....it's right about impossible....
