It's a common worry by women that weight training will make you bulky, it doesn't (unless you want to - but female bodybuilding is a whole different matter). Combined with some cardio, weight lifting can burn a lot of fat. You may find that the numbers on the scales won't change drastically but you will notice your body fat % going down as muscle takes up less space than fat. I've been training for 3 months now and am now lifting pretty heavy weights. If you don't know what weight to start with, start low and increase the weight until 15 reps of that weight (with good form) is a challenge. You should be aiming for 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps.

This Workout

This workout is pretty good so far. I did the chest and tri's exercises yesterday and it really hit the right spots. I dont know why it is called "Lose Weight" and "Build Muscle" though as it only has one day of 25 min cardio which isnt near enough cardio to lose weight. I am doing it in combination with a cardio routine though.

Agree with Graham2

A good look/function muscle structure needs both isolation exercises and functional movements. Functional exercises build endurance. Isolation exercises are the only way to grow the muscle. The perfect solution is to build you muscle for 3-4 months with isolation routines. Then do endurance exercises such as circuits, martial arts or alike.

This program will set you up for injury.

This fitness program utilizes isolation machines for many of the exercises (leg press, calf raises, etc.) This may give you big looking muscles but it is a completely non-functional exercise that does nothing to develop the stabilizing muscles necessary to support such movements. You will eventually hurt yourself and blow out your knee or shoulder. Do you want to really develop an athletic body with power & strength? Stick to functional exercises - Real life human movements that teach your body to move correctly. You can still look great, feel great, and compete at a MUCH higher level. Keep off the isolation machines!!!!
