I’m 4’11 and 116 pounds. I lost my abs after my pregnancy and I’m looking to tone my core and tone all over.

    pick up heavy things and put them down again

    building lean mass, which is most easily accomplished with strength training

    You're tiny. Whatever mass you build will show. Best of luck!

    Follow a progressive lifting routine (the beginner one at the site posted right before this post is a good one) & eat enough protein. If you check out the bodybuilding/bulking forum, there is a sticky post with lists of weightlifting routines. (and then decide if you want to eat at maintenance to recomp, eat at a slight surplus to build more muscle (bulk) faster and then lose the extra fat later, or eat at a slight deficit to lose a few more pounds and show more of the muscle you already might have/are building while you work on the lifting).
