    Squats and lunges.

    Though "toning" is more about diet than exercise. Just to be clear.


    Please explain

    Squats, Deadlifts, Weighted Lunges, kettle bell swings.... ps all of this is ridiculously awesome for your torso as well.

    Toning, as most people mean it, is to shed body fat to the point where the muscle below said fat becomes visible.

    reducing fat = losing weight + retaining muscle
    losing weight = maintaining a healthy calorie deficit
    retaining muscle = heavy lifting + sufficient protein intake

    so if a = b = c...

    toning = maintaining a healthy calorie deficit + heavy lifting + sufficient protein intake

    squats and lunges fall into the heavy lifting part of my advice, a calorie deficit with sufficient protein intake is the "it's more about diet" piece.
