Everyone that works out has a different purpose. Whether its losing weight or adding muscle everyone ultimately has some goal when they go to exercise. The real problem exists though on whether or not you follow through with those goals and if you are working at them in the correct fashion. There are 3 types of ways a person can work their body out and will get results that better thier lifestyles and they are:
1. If you are looking to tone your body and are already in good condition, but you want to work on having a better looking physique it is usually wise to work each body part. Doing sets of 3 and doing 10-12 reps per set about 3 times a week will help you on your way.
2. If you are building muscle you need to focus on explosive lifts that target the main muscle groups. These areas include legs, arms, shoulders, back and core (or in other words abdominals). Doing sets of 3-5 and reps of around 5-7 will help build muscles faster, just be sure to give yourself a couple days to recover in between lifts.
3. Finally, if you want to build endurance doing lifts of lighter weight and doing 3 sets of anywhere from 12-20 reps will help. This way you are conditioning your muscles to obtain more oxygen and you will be able to run farther and be in a lot better shape.

Those facts are very helpful to a lot of new lifters. It’s all good, but maybe when you write your paper, you could add something about how to put on mass. I know you are trying to stay away from that but it would probably be helpful to others and a good way to address another side of lifting. You could explain that to add mass to your figure, one would want to do a lot of weight with small amount of reps per set. Just some suggestions. Liking the blog though
