It's not about whether the weight is light or heavy, folks! It's about the number of reps! Some of our workouts have you doing more than 100 reps for one body part. It's excessive and really not necessary for good results. High rep/low weight gives me problems too and I avoid those workouts like the plague.
NoraKate - I think the important part is that you reduce the number of reps. You can experiment with what weight feels best for you but it doesn't have to be super heavy to get good results, at least not in my experience. I can't reel off a catalog of "high rep" workout to avoid (especially since I don't own them), but off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure that one to avoid would be Cathe's "High Reps" workout!
