DOES LIFTING LIGHT WEIGHTS FOR MANY REPS GET YOU TONED? Common advice for people who are trying to lose weight is to start doing high-rep, high-volume workouts with light weights. I have some different advice for you. Do the opposite. When you are trying to lose weight, lift heavy weights - weights that allow for no more than 10 reps if youre a lady, and no more than 6 reps if youre a man. Why? Well, research has shown that lifting lighter weights for many reps doesnt do much in the way of improving your absolute strength or building bigger muscles but instead, improves your muscles aerobic capacity and time to exhaustion. That is, it improves your muscles ability to perform prolonged or repeated contractions with that weight. #lifestylekilogym
