Weight resistance and change your diet.

there is no such thing as toning up, its an over used, misleading word.you want to lose fat and build muscle simple. or you just want to lose fat so that whtever muscle you have can be visible. do high intensity cardio, 2x a week, and low intensity (45min jog,bike,row) cardio once or twice a week.start lifting weights, low reps, heavy weights 2-3x a week. this is aptly called weight lifting, not toning up!improve your diet to eat less more often and increase your protein and reduce carb foods, and cut out sugars and drink lots of water.check the other threads for routines.

You have to have muscle mass to look defined..Otherwise you'll just be skinny

no they wont make you bigger, if your cardio and diet is right you will be losing bodyfat and weight, and your main focus is losing the fat.the weights also speed up fatloss. you may appear to look bigger if you lose enough fat. but thats the illusion of definitionif u dont want the weights at all then only intense cardio will work effectively, take up martial arts fitness, or boxing and you're done.

Do you guys not think you're being over sensitive? Does it actually matter if someone calls it toning when that's not exactly what it is? Everybody knows what they mean and this isn't a bodybuilding forum.

Nah but this guy doesn't wanna put muscle on, you need muscle for that 'toned' look

toned isn't a correct term tho, it doesn't accurately describe the end result so it's a case of educating ppl about the correct terms and expelling myths about getting definition and fat loss/muscle gain
