About 4 years ago a great friend of mine trained me for 2 weeks. What happened to my body in those two weeks was pretty amazing but the most amazing part is that we hardly used any weight, no machines, and did little cardio. Below I'm going to share the most effective toning workout tips that worked for me and will help you build that lean toned body without spending hours and hours working out and without using tons of heavy weight or expensive equipment.

Incorporate Synergy Sets
Maybe you're already using circuits, supersets, and multi-joint exercises to burn more fat but if you want that lean toned look you need to incorporate synergy sets and use less weight. A synergy set is a mini circuit that targets one specific area with complimentary exercises that target those muscles from every single angle. The result is more muscle stimulation with less weight in a shorter period of time that leads to increase fatloss and sculpts a lean long tight toned body.

Be Well Rounded
We all have strength and weaknesses and most people, myself included, love working on what they're good at but if you want that lean toned look you need to work on every aspect of fitness including cardio, strength, flexibility, agility, balance, fatloss, symmetry, and you need to do it at each and every workout. One of the reasons kettlebell training has become so popular among women is it addresses every single aspect of fitness in one workout.

Stop Skipping Meals
One of the biggest reasons women tend to hang on to stubborn fat or have trouble toning up problem areas even though they workout all the time is meal timing. Jayson Hunter creator of the Dress Size Reduction Diet explains that "skipping meals tends to cause overeating at later times during the day and also lowers the metabolism. A lower metabolism means the body hangs on to the fat you have and needs fewer calories so if you do overeat you'll gain even more fat." Your best bet if you want to get lean and toned is to eat smaller portions 4-6 times a day. Get more healthy eating plan tips from Jayson.
