Question

Answer 1

you can do very light weights--to tone your arms
like 3 sets of 15 very light weights
that'll get you really toned and not looking buff

also do cardio to even tone more
have fun!

Answer 2

TO expand on previous answers, you should lift light weights with lots of repititions. Lifting heavy weights requires burts of high-energy, and builds what's called "fast-twitch" muscle, this is the big bulky muscle that body builders and powerlifters have. Lifting lighter wieghts more times builds "slow-twitch" muscle, this is the much denser muclse that gives a "toned" appearance without adding bulk, it also is better at raising your resting metabolic rate which is good for fat loss and overall fitness. I would reccomend using a weight that you can lift about 20 times, doing no more than two exercises for each body part, and don't skimp on the cardio!

Answer 3

You can tone your arms with weights. Start out using 1lb then move to 3 then finally use 5lb in your workouts. You cant and wont get bulky like a man. Women body builders do much more then lift weights to gain thier physique so dont worry about looking like them.

Answer 4

lift lighter weights for more reps. Most body builders lift really heavy weights only a few times for power. You want endurance, so lift 10 or 15 lb weights, one in each hand, for 3 sets of 12 or 15 reps

Answer 5

Well body-builders lift huge weights to increase the mass of their muscles. If all you want to do is tone your arms then a combination of lifting small weights (3kg dumbells say), plus general exercise to burn up fat, will achieve what you are looking for.

Answer 6

If you want to build muscle up, lift a lot of weights, but if you just want to tone up, lift small weights a lot of times.
So get yourself a little dumbell set that's like five pounds and lift it a hundred times or so every day. It really works wonders.

Answer 7

Okay, do pushups, everyday. And lift about 5lb weights 3 times a week until you see the results you want, then just do push ups to maintain it.

Answer 8

lift weights, not like a body builder, nothin too heavy. this will tone you up real nice.

Answer 9

I'm not an expert but what I do, any it really works is to use light weights but do more repetitions.
