Having trouble toning up...do meta fit, boxercise and running but not toning very well. Any advice would be appreciate!

    What are your current stats? Tone up is a fancy word for cutting body fat. How many calories? What do your macros look like?

    It would appear you are largely doing cardio/HIIT based programs, so you might need to modify that.

    If you're at a weight that you like, then I would focus on resistance training (weight lifting) workouts. If you work hard with this and eat to maintain your weight, then you'll build muscle as you reduce body fat. This will improve muscle tone/development and get you to where you want to be.

    More cardio is not the answer

    Toning up means exposing the muscle you have by losing fat. Do you have fat to lose? If so, lift/resistance train in a deficit. If you don't have fat to lose, lift/resistance train at maintenance. Either way, make sure your program focuses on full body and progressively gets more difficult in a linear fashion to begin with.
