weights?

Hi, I only do cardio at the gym...about 3-4 times a week, elliptical/treadmill because I don't know which weights to use.

I am interested in toning my lower body. Anyone have any suggestions as to which machines to use without bulking up?

Thank you!

pick one of these three..
squats
leg press
lunges

then do these...
dead lifts
leg extensions
lying leg curl


do 3-4 sets each 8 reps.

You won't bulk up if you stick with a good diet and keep up the cardio.

check out ldmessing's bio on theknot.com - she is a certified personal trainer and her split routine is amazing! you start with a lower weight and do 12 reps, and then you increase your weight and do 10 reps, and 8 reps with a weight that is really hard to lift....her bio explains it better.

But, lunges really work for toning lower body. good luck!
