I have been doing weight training for a year and l have definately increased my strength alot! I know you only want to tone but I think you should at least be doing more sets and concentrating on certain areas. I go for heavier weights and less reps with 4 or 5 sets. Work upper body one day lower body the next for approx. 45 mins followed by 20 -30 mins HIIT Cardio.

Jones is right about the free weights but until you feel more confident with your routine it might be best to stick to machines. I know what you mean about "men" dominating the free weights but that doesnt stop me either! Girl power!
