FOR BETTER RESULTS. i chose to give you 12 reps, because that amount is for toning and muscular endurance. and most women, i assume want to be tonned, rather than bulk up! feel free to modify ANYTHING if you think it'd be better. what you’re doing is fantastic for tonig!
but here’s a simple resistance training routine

—day 1:legs,glutes
-5 min warmup(elliptical,tredmill,bike, or other)
*lunges 3sets of 12reps
*leg press 3set of 12reps
*hamstring curls 3sets of 12reps
*quad extensions 2sets of 12reps

(have a 90sec break between each set)
-cooldown/stretch, (elliptical,treadmill etc. and stretches)

—day 2:upper
-warm up 5mins
*bicep curls 3sets 12reps
**tricep pull downs 2sets 12 reps
*lateral pull down 3sets 12 reps(targets laterals)
**butterflies 3sets 12 reps (targets upper pectorials)
-cool down/stretches

—day3:core
(for this section i don’t know what areas or spaces
your gym has to offer. some gyms have machines to work the
core, some just have areas on the floor)
research workouts for
-obliques
-abs,upper,lower
-lower back
here you can do 15-20 reps of these

–this is sort of begginer’s workout plot, CHANGE YOUR ROUTINE EVERY
2 WEEKS. FOR BETTER RESULTS.

i chose to give you 12 reps, because that amount is for toning and muscular endurance.
and most women, i assume want to be tonned, rather than bulk up!

feel free to modify ANYTHING if you reckon it’d be better.

If you are satisfied with your size and just want more definition, I would first say to watch your diet. No caffine, as little alchohol as possible and lots of running. The more water you take in the better. It sounds like you already get a good workout with the routine you have. I think the more you run, not jog RUN! the more you burn, the more you burn, the more definition you have. Good luck with your goal! Lifting weights is going to build muscle.

It's good to weight lift and add a bit of muscle because the more muscle you've got, the better your body is at burning up calories aka losing weight. Lift for a different body part each time you go lift. Aim for 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps to get some toning results. And if you don't feel like going to the gym, do 15 sets of pushups at home. A protein shake post workout would be a smart investment for your muscle. E-mail me with questions.
