Introduction
Welcome to the Tone Up regime for women. This plan will guide you towards getting a fit, healthy and glowing body. It aims to trim excess fat, add definition and improve overall health. Over the course of this plan, you will learn what exercises to do, what to eat and what supplements to take to get the perfect beach body. Follow our plan accordingly and you will begin to see yourself transform in as little as 1 week.
3 Month Plan
All plans generated by Workout Planner are intended to be followed for 3 months to see desirable results, however you will notice changes in your physique during the process of this plan; generally a little after a week.
Your Workout Plan
In order to properly tone up, one can't simply just do cardio to get the glowing body seen on the beaches and on TV. You actually have to lift weights as well as do some core work and cardio & eat right.
Contrary to popular belief, pumping iron will not make women look big and bulky. Women physiologically do not produce the same amount of testosterone that men do. No matter what anyone says, women who lift weights will not get huge and ripped, unless they take drugs that alter their hormones such as steroids.
To get the most desirable body toning results, don't be afraid to lift weights to get lean and sexy. This is the secret to getting the perfect summer body.
Preface
If you're new to bodybuilding, don't get too discouraged if you can't complete all the exercises at first. You're body will adapt over the next coming weeks to allow you to lift heavier weights and recover faster from training.
Rest Period
Rest for 30 - 60 seconds in between sets to give your muscles ample time to recover. You can rest for 60 seconds after each exercise.

Your Diet & Supplements
While training is a crucial step in getting toned, you still cannot overlook your diet and supplements. You need to keep in mind if you are looking to get toned, you must reduce your carb and fat intake. This means eating foods that are lot more leaner and healthier i.e. Chicken instead of pork or beef.
You need to replace white bread with wholegrain or no bread at all if you can. You will also have to skip out on fizzy drinks and most takeaway foods. What goes in, must come out generally speaking; so if you eat fatty foods, you will end up fatty.
For a guideline of what to eat, check out our 1 week example diet below. You can replace the meals with whatever you want next week and the week after but make sure to substitute it with food that has the same nutritional value.
