    The word "toning" gets thrown around but most people don't know what it means. Most only know what it looks like when they see it in a magazine. "Oh, he/she looks toned!". In reality, toning is two things.. building muscle mass, and lowering body fat in order to show off that muscle mass. So.. you need to lift HEAVY weights to build muscle and you need to adjust what and how much goes in your mouth to lose fat.

    I am also working on building muscle and looking and feeling good. I lost the weight I wanted for now and i'm on the maintenance part of this journey. I have started the lifting process and raised the lbs i lift.. Its been an interesting change from the loss part to the building part.. feel free to add me if you would like..
