    any exercises you like, such as running, cycling, swimming, or push ups, body weight squats, lunges, etc etc.

    don't worry, you will not accidentally build up lots of mass or bulky muscles.

    P90X3 is a really good programme as well

    being lean and toned or big and bulky is more a result of what and how you are eating, not what fitness program you are following.

    It is not easy to add muscle, so don’t think you’re going to get much mass or get bulky. You don’t have that kind of intensity in you. Any progressive activity, in conjunction with a good eating plan will help. But my advise is to lift heavy things. Heavy lifting helps your body develop more testosterone, which in men and women is valuable in losing fat and leaning out.
