If you're lifting weights everyday and not feeling any amount of heat or tension in the muscles, there is definitely something wrong.
Either you have got the movements wrong or the weights are not right for you.
If you have been asked to do a certain number of repetitions with a specific amount of weights, stick to that. Don't increase the number of repetitions in order to tone up faster because there are chances you might land up having undesirable weight loss around the bust and the hips.

Breathe the Right Way
Slow continuous breathing is essential to maintain the oxygen flow in the body. Every exercise has specific in out breathing patterns that you must follow.
So you need to concentrate on your breathing, this will also help you to exercise better and enjoy the workout.
If you don't breathe correctly you will be out of breath in between the exercise and will not be able to finish the required amount of repetitions.
Inadequate breathing will require you to take too many breaks between each set of exercise that you do, therefore reducing the effects of that exercise.
Sip on Water
Sip on water between your workout sessions but don't drink too much water. When you finish your cardio session, you will extremely drained out and thirsty, but don't gulp down a lot of water at one go.
Too much of water interferes with weight training. You might feel bloated in the stomach.
After you have completed your workout, drink at least half a bottle of water. Your body needs to replenish it's water content after giving out water through sweating.
Cool it Down
If you walk out from the gym without cooling down you might feel dizzy and uneasy.
Exercising increases your heart rate and your body is geared up for some sort of rigorous physical activity and suddenly if you stop the work out; you are trying to push the body back to a normal mode.
Five minutes of cool down in the form of slow walking or relaxing on the floor brings the body back to a normal heart rate.
