There is no such thing as toning.
You increase muscle size (within the limits of genetics or how much horse testosterone you decide to shoot into your *kitten*), and reduce your body fat %.
Also ,targeted fat burn does not work either; your body is predisposed to store fat in certain places as a rule of gender and genetics. If you reduce your overall body fat %, that will give you what you want.
Lower weight and higher reps will burn calories and increase your endurance, it will not build muscle tissue.
Let's take bench presses for example.
3x20 at 100lbs
or
3x5 at 220lbs
Which do you think will do more for you?0 -
keep lifting weight and reduce all over body fat percentage.0
