The type of result you want needs to dictate the type of training you do!. If you are wanting to 'tone up', depending on your body type, a good place to start is 10-15 reps for upper body and 15-20 reps for legs, squats, lunges etc!. The weight should begin at around 60-70% of your '1 rep max', which means the most you think you could lift just once - don't try to lift your '1 rep max', you could injure yourself, estimate it, by picking up a few weights and guessing at a weight just above 'pretty heavy'!. You can work up to anything up to 5 sets for certain specific types of training and the reps can vary!. It is very individual!.
Weight training is a gradual process and can build up to a lot, but you should start simple with a balanced whole body program, consisting mostly of 'compound', exercises that use more than one muscle at a time, as opposed to 'isolation exercises, that might work just biceps or triceps!. Always warm up first and stretch muscles at the end of a workout!. Your best bet would be to get a qualified trainer to write a program for you and show you the exercises first!.
And crunches are core exercises and are 'resistance' based!.
Good luck with your training!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
