I'm just wondering what y'all suggest as far as strength training. I usually do 30-40 minutes on the treadmill doing intervals and another 20-30 minutes doing weights and other strength exercises. Do those of you who have achieved your goals or are working on losing/toning up usually do high reps low weight or the opposite? I hate to be one of those girls who is scared to get bulky (I've read all about how it can't happen, etc.) but I kind of still am! Also if you have any diet tips or healthy lifestyle advice in general I'm always looking to learn more! Thanks!

    Right! I should probably include that information haha. Well I'm 5'7" 158 lbs and I want to lose about 20ish pounds but don't want to build too much muscle while also not being "skinny fat." My upper body is pretty small and I hold most unwanted fat in my thighs and butt. I know I can't spot reduce but one of my main goals is to tone my lower body without making my legs bulky or too athletic looking

    You won't 'build muscle' by accident! You want a bit of cardio 2-3 x a week and some heavy lifting 3x a week
