The High reps / lower weight advice is right on. You don't gain mass, just definition and hardness.
Also, Olivia, women/girls generally don't have the genetics to gain bulk without testosterone supplements.
A circuit training routine would benifit you. (Go from workout to workout with limited rest.) I did this to lose weight to wrestle in a lower weight class. I was bulky and the circuit training allowed me to remain strong and build crazy endurance while reducing mass; from 215 to 189.
Circuit train; relatively low wt. / high reps.

Lifting easy weights for top reps is the everyday advice that running shoes tell consumers to develop muscle tone. Lifting easy weights provides an phantasm of increasing muscle tone. extreme reps in many situations provide the muscle mass a great pump. while the muscle mass are pumped up they are going to seem extra toned, yet while the pump is long previous the muscle tone is long previous. in case you elect muscle tone for the hour you're interior the health club then lifting extreme reps and lightweight weights could additionally help do so purpose. in case you elect great muscle tone 24 hours an afternoon, then you elect a diverse attitude.

Sorry, hate to break it to you but no its not. You can lose fat and maintain muscle, This is easily achieved by eating 1 gram protein per 1 lb body weight (ex. 135 lbs, 135 g protein.) The reason why people think this is possible is because when you lose fat your muscles appear bigger, but they really are not. The only way to build muscle is to eat more (while still maintaining your protein intake) and lifting heavy at least 3 days a week.

the diet determines the size of the muscles. when you have achieved the size that you like you simply don't increase the cals any higher, it's that simple. with out a caloric excess there is no increase in body fat or muscle mass.

yes.
it's a different kind of workout than the one to "bulk up", but still requires dedication.
there are several good sites on the internet, or join a gym and work with a trainer for a week. The trainer can set you up with a program to meet your specific goals.
