I really wanna tone it up and loose the weight but I don’ want to increase the muscle!
I heard using tins like beans are the idea weights?

I tell this to my female clients all the time….IT IS SOO HARD TO GAIN MUSCLE. Especially if you have girly parts. You may think your going to get bulky if you weight train, but trust me… your lack of testosterone will prevent this.
I weight train 5 times a week with HEAVY weights and I’m only slightly bigger in muscular then average girlies….and I want to get bigger. So I wouldn’t worry about that.
Actually you want a nice muscular base to support your posture and burn more calories when your not working out because muscle has a higher caloric intake then any other body tissue (except neural tissue) So when you eat your hot dog with relish, the muscle will burn the calories off instead of store them like fat.
As for losing fat, you want to increase the hours you spend in the gym, and focus on mainly cardio with light resistance training! Plus you have to make sure the calories you’re taking in are lower then the calories you’re expending. Calories in lower then calories out= weight loss.
To loose skin, unfortunately the only way to do that is through surgery… skin is not a tissue like muscle or fat which can expand and contract, it’s an organ like your heart or stomach, so it’s never going to go anywhere unless you remove it…sorry
Hope this helped…stay strong chicka!
To tone muscles, lift lighter weights but do more repetitions.
To gain muscle, you lift heavier weights with less repetitions.
toning up is building muscle.
yes use weights cuz apparently if you;re a girl it;s 10x more likely that you WONT bulk up (lack of appropriate hormones)
