Toning after/during weight loss

abiskeet

SO I've lost weight before but have never really toned up and builthe muscle to the extent I would like.
Now I'm finally back on the fitness band wagon I'd like to go all in his time.
Any tips or ways to start

Tip one ..avoid using the word "tone" on here, you won't like some of the responses even though everyone knows what you mean

It's a result of right body fat (eat at a calorie defecit over time) and sufficient muscle (progressive resistance) ..to hit your body aesthetic

If you can't bring yourself to do free weights yet then do a decent bodyweight programme

But it all comes down to calorie intake for fat loss so don't forget your calorie counting

Thanks for the reply I did question when I used the word tone if I'd get squished on it lol. Hence why I also said build muscle.
