    I was doing one legged ( split squats ) with twenty-five pound plates, 3 sets of 10, last week and I am a beginner. I feel like I'll need to do better than that when I get back at it again.

    If you don't have access to a gym, chuck some textbooks or canned goods into a backpack and do your squats wearing them. Try split squats, one-legged squats, jump squats (squat down, then jump straight up, landing back in a squat), and star jumps (like a jump squat, but you do a jumping jack in the air. If that description makes no sense, watch this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPFtd4K-khA ). Those will do more for you than doing 100 unweighted normal squats a day, especially if you're able to do sets of 50 unweighted easily.

    I strongly suggest not doing jump squats and star jumps in the shower, though :laugh:

    This is good advice.

    OK peeps...by delicate toning I mean something like this :

    This is my all-time favorite girl crush Jennifer Lawrence. My body is somewhat similar to hers in size and shape. You see how it looks like she works out, but not too intensely, because she is still shapely and soft in a womanly way? Does that make sense? I have been drinking.
    Well let's put it this way. She could bust her *kitten*, lift heavy and still look like that if her body fat % were still the same. The "softness" is her body fat being above 20% but below say 27%.
