Simple exercise?

Push the chair away from the table. Eat less to tone. Lift weights to strengthen.

Agree with previous comments about weight/fat loss. If your diet is right, most any exercise of moderate to high intensity will be fine.

I don't think there's a method to toning specific body parts. That being said, my body looks firmer (and my clothing fits better) when I eat at a deficit, have a very high protein macro, and lift very heavy. I use the new rules of weightlifting for women, but if you're not up using weights yet, I think starting with body weight squats, lunges (mix these us - front, side, back, one leg up, etc), push ups, dips (off a chair or bench), step ups, crunches (although I prefer doing mine with my legs on the yoga ball), and leg lifts (the kind where you lay down and lift both legs up), isn't a bad place to start. That being said, if you do all that regularly with your body weight, you'll want to start using some weights to keep your progress moving forward).

I think basically toning is a mis-nomer. Lowering your body fat and building up muscle is what helps to create what I think you might think of as "toning."

Tri and Bicep curls for the arms. Dancing for the thighs. Twisting dancing does the abs.

I'd suggest most people should not be doing isolation moves like curls and tricep kickbacks, etc.

This source says you these isolation moves should be ignored until you can meet some overall strength standards.

As the article mentions, the arms are less than 10% of your muscles. Spend time on things like squats, deadlifts, lunges, presses, rows, pulls to get better results shaping your body. You will find this is the approach used by sources such as the New Rules of Lifting, Stronglifts, etc.

Good luck.

Strength training, whole body. Low intensity cardio burns more than than long periods of high intensity cardio, just fyi.

Leg extensions will help you tone your thighs. If you want sometime more solid, squats is the way to go.
