    If you want strength, great looking body and low body fat, pick up some heavy weights and don't be scared of bulking up, because you will not.

    agreed -- if bulking was as easy as some women fear -- body builders wouldnt have to eat 2932393829 grams of protein to maintain the muscle. You will get a sexy tone FAR before you get manly looking muscles!!

    Try the Women's Health Big Book of Exercises. It has great photographs and instructions on exercises for every muscle, many using dumbells and body weight only. It also gives guidelines on how much weight to use, how many reps, and has some sample workouts. Don't overthink it... just start lifting and make sure you are challenging your muscles.

    Take a look at the Girls Gone Strong facebook page, see how heavy those little feminine ladies lift. There is nothing to worry about re bulking up.

    I agree try New Rules of Lifting for Women. This book explains it all and banishes the fabled words that have become part of the womens exercise diary and their meanings changed over time
