My current workout regime is walking at least 3 days a week. I do sit-ups as well but really need some help in that department. I'm one of those naturally toned people and don't like to do too much weight training because I easily bulk up and look like a man (not my thing). I suspect as some of my fat sheds my workout regime will change a bit, though.
For anyone not looking to bulk up, I would stick with lighter weights with more repetition to build your lean muscle (which creates a tone look and not a bulk look).

Building muscle is important for many reasons, one being that it will relieve some of the stress on your joints, knees, etc, but most importantly because each pound of muscle you add burns 50 calories a day at rest. Muscle helps you lose weight faster and keep it off once you lose it.
