How Much time???

[jehn]

I am looking to tighten up and probably not actually lose any weight, just get nice and cut (without getting carried away, I don't want to look butch, LOL). So, how much time should I spend a week at the gym? Assuming the time is well spent. How much cardio? How much weight-training?
Thanks in advance.

The typically female response. I want to lift weights but I don't want to put on muscle and get bulky. I just want to see my muscles.

What experience do you have in the gym? Have you lifted weights before? If you are a true beginner who has not touched a weight, then a full body workout twice a week would be good for starters.

if u don't need/want to lose much weight, then 20 minutes/day would probably be efficient enough for what u need ... maybe push it to 30 if u have the time
