Tone Up Program

Tone Up Program

Do you want to get that defined, toned look that you see women in magazines have?

Firstly, you can absolutely get that with my Tone-Up Program. However I must come clean about something first. There is no such thing as ‘toning up.’ The phrase doesn’t mean anything, you cannot ‘tone’ a muscle there is no such thing. I know most people find this hard to believe, because particularly women hear and read the word ‘tone’ all the time. Unfortunately it’s just one of many ‘myth words’ in the fitness industry.

To be honest, I hate calling this program the ‘Tone Up’ Program for this very reason. But the bottom line is the results you get from it are what people mean when they talk about wanting to tone-up or someone being toned, so I suppose it’s okay to call it that.

The truth either you either build muscle or lose muscle, and you either gain body fat or lose body fat. That’s it, those are the 2 things we have the power to control, nothing else. You cannot change a muscle form being ‘un-toned’ to ‘toned,’ such a process does not exist.

When we look at someone (I’m going to use a woman as the example because it’s mostly women that use the word ‘toned’) who we think looks toned, what they have is good lean muscle definition and a low body fat percentage enabling us to clearly see this lean muscle definition.

When I say lean muscle I’m not talking about big bulky muscles that bodybuilders have, I’m talking about lean muscle that look sleek, feminine, defined and dare I say it ‘toned.’

So the program you need to follow to achieve the ‘toned look’ is a combination of resistance training to give you the lean muscle definition, and cardiovascular training to burn the (these two types of training are by no means mutually exclusive I regularly combine them both in my training sessions).
