Because I'm a personal trainer the first thing girls always ask me when I'm at the parties is "how do I lose this five pounds, how do I tighten up my belly, how do I workout without putting on too much muscle..." etc.,
Its tough because for the most part you girls are working against your existing genetic material. Even with hormones, you're still more likely to develop hypertrophic muscle tissue (i.e. bigger muscles) than genetic girls. Work out too little or too light and you won't have an effect. Do only aerobic exercise and you'll not get any muscle tissue gains which really help burn bodyfat.
So I went to some conferences and attended some panels and the big thing that seems to be helping these days is vibration training.
It's a platform that has a motor built in and vibrates hundreds of times per minute, making for an unstable environment as you stand on it or push/pull against it. You use more muscle tissue to resist the vibration, but you don't experience growth. Consider when you stand on roller blades, you have to recruit through your entire body to stay upright, but you don't cause muscle fibers to tear and grow larger. You do however use almost all the muscle groups in your core to maintain balance.
Vibration works on the same principle, but you also use your upper body in the exercise sequence. People get stronger and appear to have increased weight loss and bone density, but don't get noticeably more muscular.
here's a link to some info:

and there will be some studies if you go on google. keep in mind there's one that says it may be ineffective if you never move on the platform. Evidently the Japanese just stand on the thing thinking it does all the work...
Anyone who has questions can PM me. Now hopefully we can just about sex at the parties...
