Please don't use light weights with lots of reps! It is a waste of your time, and one of the oldest and hardest to kill myths in women's fitness. You need to lift heavy weights to get results. Women do NOT have the hormone balance to get bulky without a TON of effort and time (think eating calories above your maintenance level and gaining only about 1/2-1 lb. of muscle per month). However, lifting weights just builds the muscle underneath the fat--you have to diet to lose the fat before you can see the results of your hard work.
