One of the most popular requests asked of me is about getting toned.

It seems more than anything else - more than building muscle or losing weight specifically you want to tone up.

Which is great news indeed.

Of course, most of the information at this blog (now topping 18 months in existance and with 150 posts which are translated into 12 languages) - and there’s a lot of it - focuses on just this topic.

Getting toned of course is all about reducing fat content while building some muscle. By doing this your skin will tighten around the shape of your muscles rather than bulge around the layer of fat under the skin.

So get losing weight and you’ll soon be getting toned too.

If you’re keen on getting toned it’s important to remember the basics. Don’t worry initially about any fad diets. Don’t fuss over whether to do the Atkins or the Zone diet, at least not to begin with.

Instead, just get the basics right.

Eat clean - just lean meats, vegetables, fruit in moderation, no alcohol, no refined carbs (that means ditch the pasta, bread, sugar you name it).

Then get regular exercise that makes you work. I’m not talking a gentle stroll in the park, I’m talking a tough run across the countryside or some rock climbing or cycling or whatever tough physical activity floats your boat.

As we’ve seen from my own testing here at this blog, the best technique would involve a few week of Atkins Diet induction followed by Body For Life thereafter if you want to get technical, but I suggest you just get started and start getting fancy later on when you have worked out whether this new lifestyle is for you.
