Just to say there are no such thing as "toning" exercises. It's just exercise.

Stick to the basics: compound lifts with challenging weight and good form.

For me, a mixture of Pilates, bar and weight lifting works the best!

The word toning is a bit of an odd one. Being "toned" just means that your fat level has dropped enough that you can see muscle. And as we know, fat loss is achieved with a calorie deficit.

There aren't any specific exercises that "tone", but weight training is the easiest for beginners and the most accessible.
