'Toning'

[stunner5000pt]

Im sure many of you have heard this word used by many girls. "how do i get so and so muscle toned'. I think it refers to seeing your 6-pack and other muscles. I have had MANY arguments about this topic with many people who are just ignorant or stubborn to reasoning.

SO correct if im wrong, but doesnt toning refer to primarily low body fat - and this would be achieved through cardio and clean diet - a ketogenic diet??
Working out plays a role because if you build more muscle, the more energy is required by your body to maintain this muscle and the more tendency your body has to burn fat??

Am i right in my logic??

exactly right.

Seeing the abs is all about BF%

and thats all about diet and cardio.

Working out doesn harden and makes bigger your muscles, but without the low BF%, never gonna see that 6 pack.

Doesnt need to be a ketogenic diet. Dont know where that came from.

Acutally there is no such thing as toning, its just an advertisement gimick.

why is there no such thing? because scientifically you cannot measure it. theres no test you can take or way of knowing what is and what isnt.
