The number one thing women say when asked what their goals are in the gym.
“I want to tone up”
Which is great! However I think there’s a major misconception about what that actually means.
Because as soon as I mention weight lifting and building muscle it’s an immediate no from them.
So here’s what “toning up” actually means ⬇️
Simply put, looking toned means that you have muscle definition that has been uncovered by losing body fat.
But here’s the thing. In order to have muscle definition you have to do weight bearing exercise to build muscle first. Then lose enough body fat to see that muscle definition.
“Tone” is short for muscle tone.
As for me, I’ll be over here building as much muscle mass as I can so I don’t need a super low body fat percentage in order to see muscle definition.

And stay tuned for big things to come in the new year!
