I think you need to be lifting a little more than 10-12 pounds. Adjust to a weight you can do that strains you, but you can work through it for 15-20 reps, with the last rep where you are near the point of muscle failure. Do 3 sets in these instinances.

2nd, I want you to go to bodybuilding.com and look at various exercises you can do to work each muscle. Start a work-out regiment. And about once every 5 weeks, change your routine, so you don't get use to doing certain exercises, give something new. There's a million things you can do and most of it doesn't even require seeing the inside of a gym.

Other thing is if you lift weights, days you don't lift are equally important in getting muscle and getting toned. You need days to have your muscles repair and grow. Doing it all the time just stuns them. So while you rest them, you just do some cardio stuff.
