i like the low weight high reps. It keeps your heart rate up longer, and fewer injuries. If you're just into looking good and not looking like a body builder, thats probably the way to go.

LWHR = strength building (more than 15 reps).
HWLR = muscle tissue building (12 or less reps).

I say high weight low reps.

dont worry about that at first. make doing ANYTHING the focus...at first, the main priority should be working physical activity into your regular weekly routine in any way at all -- cardio, weights, indoors, outdoors, group classes, with a buddy, solo...worry about the fine tuning after...
