I would definitely say Pilates. This exercise uses gravity to tone your muscles. One for the legs is:  Lay on your back, flat. Lift one leg in the air and make the letter P. That is just one example. I believe that Pilates is one of the best ways to TONE muscles, Not build

Set a realistic goal and a time frame.\nGet a body fat calaper test done to see exactly how much excess weight is really flab.\n\nIncrease fiber and water intake. Make sure you do at least 30 min of cardio before lifting.\n\nTry investing in some 5-10 lb weights that attach around you legs, it will help to tone up, with out adding bulk.\n\nExercise is very different from riding a horse.

Keep doing what you are trying to do.  Work out, and dont' worry about trying to fit in.  \n\nYou'll always be different from many of these guys. Just be yourself.  Don't worry about how you seem when you think in English or whatever.  Just work on your  weak parts, whether that be thinking in English, or building muscle mass, or whatever.  Learn to accept yourself as you are, as G-d or nature made you.  \n\nYou may not be a very big or physically massive man or person.  But find the type of activity that suits you, whether it be an aerobic activity such as swimming, or gymnastics, or a more task-centred, muscle mass type, like weight lifting, which requires different mucles (hard).  \n\nYour question is not really so strange.  You will learn that there are many gays and lesbians out in the world, but they have been isolated until recently.  With the growing world population, they are finding a voice, so you can "connect" with others of your kind.  Don't be discouraged.

You can decrease weight through diet alone, but you won't be building up ANY of the underlying muscle tone that helps firm your body up and increase your metabolism (as a pound of muscle takes up less space than, and burns more calories than, a pound of fat).  Being "thin" but having no muscle tone isn't best for your body because you will still have a high body fat percentage.  You can weigh 100 pounds and still have 30% body fat.  Do yourself a favor and work out... if you don't like aerobic exercise, at least lift weights a few times a week.

Try wearing wrist weights during the day, even if they are only 5 pounders. That will constantly work the muscles in your arms and shoulders. Beyond that, practice, practice, practice.

Start a full body workout plan.  Do a search on google for "full body workout routine" and see what you come up with.  It's great if you can join a gym or access free weights and machines, but even if you can't there are plenty of exercises that you can do without weights (i.e. push ups, pull ups, crunches, etc...) that will really improve on your shape.  Or, you can buy resistant bands and dumbbell sets for really cheap at say wal mart or a play it again sports.  Your local library will probably have a nice selection of fitness videos or DVDs and books on beginning weight training.  Basically, if you want to lose fat anywhere, you'll need to do cardio.  If you want to build muscle you'll need to do weight training and other strength building exercises.  If you want a good body, you'll probably want to do a little of both.  Good luck!

Dude, no, ur goin at this all wrong u need to work on ur game if stregnth Will put u onto the next level then u need to go at ur own pace and weight because everyone is different and some persons workout wont work for another. U need to find a website that lists target excercises that target specific muscles. Find a comfortable weight for each exercise and then either push yourself to the next weight for buff muscles or for lean ones do lots of reps.

try doing curls just with your wrist. Bring the weight up and down only with your wrist. Works out your forearm like crazy.

You have been given wrong advice, you should be using weights.  Just don't use heavy weight.  You should be using lighter weight for higher reps.  Ideally, do like 15 reps per exercise.  You can also use machines, like the nautilus or hammer strength or cybex machines that have a little stack of weights incorporated into the machine and you use a pin to adjust the weight.  Same rule, though.  Less weight, more repetitions.\nAnd you should be doing cardio as well.\nAnd you need to modify your diet as well.\nAll 3 elements are needed to tone your arms and other body parts, diet, weights and cardio.\nAlso, the fat in your arms is probably on the underside, in the area of the triceps.  This is a typical place for people, especially women, to collect fatty tissue.  I would suggest you speak with someone at your gym who can show you some different exercises.  You'll want to pick about 3-4 different exercises and do 3 sets of each, but for each set, you should be doing about 15 reps.

Do some light weight lifting. Not serious heavy stuff - but enough that you feel a burn in your muscles. Strength training is the best way to tone - and you won't get huge muscles! Start with 5 - 10 pound weights and progress from there. It is a common misconception that women will get huge muscles by strength training - it's possible to do that but only if you want to. I work out at Curves - where I do cardio mixed with strength training. Yes, I've built some muscle - but I don't look muscular! I still have all my curves! I've lost over 50 pounds this way. Experts say that strength training is what is missing from women's workouts - but it's what we need the most!

Keep a water bottle on you at all times and drink drink drink.  Stay away from all sugar. Eat lots of protein and calcium...they help you metabolize fat and build lean muscle. (Spinach, Plain Lowfat Yogurt and Wild Salmon are good).  Work out vigorously at least 4 times a week: walk, run, jog, ride your bike, do the elliptical trainer, 30-40 minutes per. Be sure to eat small meals every two hours.  Do side bends and situps first thing in the morning and in the evening as you settle down.  Visualize yourself toned and gorgeous.  Find at least one partner to share in your goal. You can do it!!

Take it a day at a time. Every body is different. Each person's body gives up weight at its own pace. Don't force it. That is unhealthy. Not only discipline to do it proper. Don't compare your progress with anyone else. Good luck.

Depends on your muscle mass. It would be nice if you could bench your bodyweight.

To avoid getting bulky muscles, stick to cardio and resistant bands.  If you lift weights, stay lighter than 10 lbs.  Sticking to light weights and more reps tones you with up bulking up.

It's difficult to tell you how heavy to make the weights but I do have a formula that works very well, especially if you are just looking to tone up quickly and not necessarily lose weight.\n\nIt's basically a "pyramid" workout and this is what you do:\n\n1. Choose the exercise you want to work on.  The first set of repetitions you do, do 12-15 reps on the lightest weight you want to use.  Rest about 30 seconds before you do the next set of repetitions.\n2. The second set of repetitions do 8-12 reps with a slightly heavier weight, but not too heavy.  Rest again for 30 seconds and get ready for the 3rd set.\n3. Third set choose the heaviest weight you can do (without hurting yourself) but only do 4-8 reps this time.  Rest again for 30 seconds and then move onto the next completely different exercise and repeat this process of pyramiding up again.\n\nDo your entire workout 2-3 times with each different exercise and you will see results quickly. Remember to drink plenty of water and just concentrate on fruits and vegetables and lean protein while you are on this until you have a great time on your vacation.\n\nHope it works and Good luck!!!
