The key to toning muscle is high reps with less weight. You will want to pick a weight that is about 30% off the heaviest you usually lift, and do 3 sets of 30 reps. Another key to toning is cardio, which is essential for fat burn.

A basic exercise routine, or a good yoga workout, done maybe every other day, is the healthiest way. Bike riding and running are wonderful muscle toners, but can be hard on the joints. Swimming is easy on the joints and works out every muscle, keeping you slim and toned.
