I am always involved in some sort of workout that involves cardio and light lifting. Lately, my boyfriend and I have been frequenting the gym daily and staying for approximately three hours. One hour is spent on cardio and the other two on weights. I have been doing basically the same weight exercises as my boyfriend, except with significantly lighter weight. He thinks that if I keep doing the same things as him I am going to end up looking like a football player. (lol). We started off doing 4 sets of 30 reps, as to tone rather than to build large mass. Now we are doing 5 sets of 12 because the 30 reps were getting a little ridiculous. I am still doing the original amount on my abs as that does not seem so out of the ordinary. My question is in regards to what my boyfriend says...if I continute to work out at this sort of intensity will I begin to look "buff?" I admit that I have been gaining weight, not fat, but muscle, as in I am tighter than I was before. I have decided to add more cardio to the workout. What is the best type of workout for a 5'4", 120 pound female in order to stay in shape and possibly get in better shape?
