Lifting weights will not make you bulky ladies UNLESS your intentions are to build the bulk. When you combine weight training with your cardio workouts and use weights that are appropriate for your frame and your goals they will actually ENHANCE your muscle tone and make you more lean and chiseled.
I have been lifting weights for over 15 years now. People ask me how I keep my arms toned. My answer is weight training and push-ups in combo with a proper diet and and exercise.
Check out this combo move from one of my favorite weight training programs for at home. Push ups-Dead Lift-Squat. Start with 1:1:1 and work up to 7:7:7 or higher. (I am at 5:5:5 and go to 4:4:4 in the video)
I personally use 15-20 lbs but I started with 8’s when I first began the program.
