How to tone in the feminine way?!
Question: well, im working out at the moment but im scared that if i do the wrong workouts, that it will build up an area way too much, another reason that i am working out is because i am trying out for modeling again in a couple of months.
my inspiration is jamie eason, because she developed her muscles but still looks feminine i guess you could say. so what im asking is what are some good workouts that will help tone but dont develop too much? im sorry if this sounds confusing im not really good at asking direct questions as you can see....

Do at least 30 minutes of cardio, 5-6 days a week...strength train for 20 minutes, 3-4 days a week. To get the long, lean, and feminine shape you want, lighter weights and high reps are the way to go. Lots of squats and lunges will shape your thighs, butt and other lower body muscles.
Crunches only make your tummy solid, and sexier, so do 100 in the morn, and 100 in the night.
Do squats because women don't bulk up as men do, so they tone up your inner thigh, and to rid a few pounds , do 30 mins of cardio a day. (Such as jogging, speed walking, jump rope, swimming)
EDIT: Also, lift really light weights for long reps to tone up your arms without getting bulky muscles.
sounds like you want to get a bod similar to a figure or fitness competitor...
women dont gain muscle unless they lift super heavy weights for over 10 years so lift away and take plenty of protein

Every Woman's body has a natural shape. You don't need to weight train hard to get a tone body.
The perfect way to loose weight and monitor your progress is to use a calorie counter on a daily basis while you diet.
Energy In/Energy Out
Food Intake: 1,200 Per Day
One Pound equals 3,500 Calories
To loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat
1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories Burn
You must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound at least. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day.
Best way to do this is to track your progress on a calorie counter monitor watch. If you do it by the numbers you can loose the weight. It is just a matter of changing the way you think about weight loss.
Once you start wearing your calorie counter you can see the numbers increase and you will find yourself doing extra things in your day, like tapping your foot while waiting at the light in your car, chewing gum, singing out loud and so on onto of your workout routines. You begin to see that everything you do in your day contributes to the overall numbers needed to loose that pound.
Water Intake/Less Storage
Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 to 80 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.
Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.
Good Food
My favorite things to eat:
Avocado Wraps
Simple: Low Carb Tortilla, Half Avocado sliced, alpha sprouts, lettuce, soy bacon...Just wrap it up and eat. You can vary the things you put inside so long as you keep it to approx 4 or 5 items. You want to make sure they are fresh, low calorie and filling. Avocado and mushrooms can replace meats in your meal and still have great taste.
Special K Cereals are fantastic. They have that sweetness that one craves and is so good for you. Calories are low. Great for even just dinner.
First thing in the morning...A Glass of Chocolate Milk. Yup!! Chocolate Milk. We all crave that "got to have" item in the morning. Milk is the best thing you can have for yourself while working out. The chocolate (and you can use Carnation Instant Milk for this but I simply use Nestle dry mix) will give you that sweet "snack" that you need. If you give your body a little bit of it and its in a control way, you will not crave sweets and junk the rest of the day.
Lean Cuisines
Fantastic food! Each meal is approx 180 t0 380 calories per box. So think about your calories. 1,200...You can still have several of these meals a day and still be under your intake requirements.
