What are some sports that don't make you gain muscle too much but help you slim up? Please give me some examples. I know cardio is good, but what would be some others? And is yoga good to get slimmer too?
And is that "step-machine" good for sliming up too?
 
Running and swimming are both examples of great exercise regimes that do not 'bulk' a person up. You could also investigate dancing, and if you don't think dancing is a 'sport,' boy are you in for a surprise! Dancing is a great way to exercise while doing something truly enjoyable!
Yoga is never a bad thing. Pilates is also great!
 
Yoga is a reasonably good slimmer because you work muscles in ways you don't usually work them on a daily basis.
Long distance running/cross country running is about the best way to lose a lot of weight and not put on bulky muscle tissue.
You already know that cardio is good.
If you want to go to a gym and use all their machines and do very low weights and very high repetitions. Do many sets of exercises and even take the muscles to 'failure' (where you just can't lift the weight anymore) as this will burn up just about all the glycogen in the intra-muscular tissue and slim the muscles down.
This will not only tone slack muscle but will burn up fat.
