Simply Tone Guide
The “nothing too crazy” plan
Not every fitness goal needs to be about losing or gain weight. Toning what you have for more muscle definition, lift, and shape is a valid goal as well. This plan is designed with that goal in mind. Created with nothing too intense that would make you shed pounds you want to keep on, but challenging enough to burn fat that allows the muscles you do have to show a little more. With simply 20 minutes a day, gain a physique that looks effortlessly defined.
Plan Summary:
Workout Duration: 20 min for 5 days/week
Program Duration: 5 weeks
Resistance Level: Moderate. Use either your body weight or a kettlebell heavy enough for 10 reps.
Tips: Kettlebell exercises can be replaced with a pair of dumbbells instead, just make sure they are of moderate weight. Get a set of elastic loop resistance bands with varying resistance so that you can lower or increase the band weight for your needs. If you have hardwood floors, you can do the slider movements with socks on or with slider disks. For carpet, use slider disks only.
