Hey there! I'm a 25 year old woman, 5'4", 115lbs. I'm fine with my current weight. I've never really had an issue with being overweight, however, I've unhappy with my small body that lacks muscle definition. I want to be small AND sexy! My main concern is my lower half. It has been my focus for sometime now. Especially because of cellulite, ew! I'm so sick of looking at it! Aside from that, I have slight saddlebags that I would like to smooth out and basically obtain leaner, toned legs. I've done 30 Day Shred, as well as other JM workouts. Now, I am in the process of doing Brazil Butt Lift, combined with other things. Am I going to eventually see results that I want if I stick with it? I always get so discouraged! How long does it typically take to see results from resistance training? Thanks!

    If you are serious about resistance training join a gym and start a proper weightlifting routine.

    These 30 day programs are a great start but that's all it is, a start on a long(but enjoyable) journey. Nobody has ever built an incredible physique in 30 days, it takes months and then years.

    Try stating strength or stronglifts. They will not make you bulky or buff or look like a man. These programs will make you stronger, teach you correct weightlifting form and help you develop a solid weightlifting foundation, which will help with all the problems you mention

    So, will body weight training not be a good start for developing muscle tone?

    My dilemma is that I really, REALLY hate gyms. I think they all screw you over. I had an awful experience, haha.
