well as everyone knows, it's summer time soon and i'm trying to get a toned body. But i'm also trying to lose weight. So I was wondering if I should lose the weight first then tone or just tone right now. I don't want to become one of those bulky muscullar girls sooo please help! thanks

or you could do both at the same time.
cus thats what u usually do? lol

weight train ...cardio...and diet.

there.

alterate between the two

no use of toning w/out cardio
If you're fat, you need to do cardio to burn your fat, because the muscle is hidden under layers of fat.
Good diet is important too

girls can't get bulky, unless you drink a big amount of protein shakes, it increases the size of your muscle

i think u do both at the same time O_O... as you lose weight you start to get toned.. if you are working out.

[Sanura]

If you're exercising properly, they go hand-in-hand.

[dhillman]

lose weight first. do aerobic exercises.... and then u can start building muscles.

[Xiongboi_J]

might as do both because toning will pretty much help you burn the fat out so a combo should be better?

[Jiraiya]

What do you mean by lose weight, does that mean only dieting? A body with higher muscle content will burn more calories when at rest than a body with less muscle. So you will likely lose weight faster if you work out using weights and doing some cardio. The chances you are going to bulk up and have muscles bulging are zero.

Swimming.

Cardio + toning.

It's really a total-body-workout.
I got some definition on my deltoids and triceps plus I shaved off a few layers of fat on my tummy.

weight train ...cardio...and diet.

Don't do that. It's common sense... don't do weight training and cardio together.

Honestly I think you should lose weight first then start toning. I dunno but try out your slim body before going directly to toned. I read somewhere (which may not be true) that if you're working out while not being slim but chubby/overweight, you seem to get bigger with all that muscle rather than toned and proportional.

[llee10789]

do it at the same time.

you're using some words interchangeably, when they shouldn't.

such as:

losing weight...aka the activity "cardio" ?
losing weight...aka decrease body fat?
losing weight...aka dieting and/or starvation?

toning...aka lifting weights?

sure, do both at the same time. 'tis be the fastest route.

You'll need to do both at the same time if you're looking to lose weight speaking in long terms. Exercising and a good diet is the key to toning and losing weight. The muscles you get from toning will help you lose weight while doing cardio

[hunny]

Alt between both.
Cardio to lose weight, and strengthen urself to raise your metabolism rate. And because ur meta raised, you burn more calories.
Get the idea?

Don't do that. It's common sense... don't do weight training and cardio together.

uh...
i always weight train and do cardio together. and it works fine for me.
all my friends who go to the gym do too...
we weight train..then hit the treadmills and what not.
i dont see whats so wrong about it.
