Hello everyone, I'm Adita, I'm 19 years old and I'm hoping to be able to tone up before the summer. I have a question, hopefully you guys can help.

I have a figure that I'm pretty content with, will the types of exercises I do affect my shape?

The types of exercises you do should be balanced between upper and lower body work so that you don't get out of proportion.

Usually weight training will enhance what you have. not detract from it, though if you get very lean you may lose some curves that you have due to low bodyfat. Think about gymnasts and how narrow their hips become. Then again, look at figure competitors - they are fairly lean and have great figures.
