Weight training allows your body to build lean muscle mass that increases your metabolism and allows for a greater calorie burn (resulting in a reduction in body fat). How you weight train determines how your body looks. For a person that wants to reduce body fat and tone, a total body routine with a combination of higher reps (15 reps or greater) with lower weight and moderate reps (10-12 reps) with moderate weight will work well. Whereas for individuals that want to bulk up the strategy would be quite different.
