Want To Get “Toned”? Why Building Muscle is the Real Goal
we hear it all the time: “I just want to tone up!” But what does that really mean? As a married dad of 3 who understands the stress of a busy life, I know how confusing fitness lingo can be. And when people talk about “toning,” we get it—what they’re really after is building muscle and reducing body fat. The word “toning” is thrown around so often, but it doesn’t actually explain the process our bodies go through.
In reality, what you want isn’t “toning”; it’s building muscle while shedding fat to create that lean, defined look. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon advocates for lifting heavier weights to help us build muscle, which not only makes us stronger but also revs up our metabolism and helps us burn more fat. Lifting doesn’t make you bulky—it helps you look more lean and fit. Muscle is what gives us that “toned” look, not light weights or endless cardio.
At One Life, we focus on effective strength training programs that help you build muscle efficiently and safely. This approach improves your health, boosts your metabolism, and even increases bone density, which is especially crucial for women.
