    Ladies please understand lifting is way more beneficial than for the sole purpose of "building muscle". Few realize that the affects of lifting are after the fact when your muscles are recover from the damage from lifting (that's what is supposed to happen). This is when your metab increases because of the work your body has to put in to recover from lifting. Building muscle and all that requires constant lifting, increased protein intake....yada yada. Cardio is important but if you want change and to feel tight you have to break down your muscles (lifting) and allow for the recovery (body burning calories to help the muscles recovery),...none of this will make even begin to make you look like a man unless it becomes excessive
