A member asked:
Will lifting small weights tone your muscle faster with more reps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Weight training generally helps to shape and tone muscles while cardiovascular exercise burns the fat around the muscles so you can see them better. Lighter weights with higher reps are better for tone, and heavier weights with fewer reps would be better for size and strength.
