Toning exercise (and exercise) is an exciting subject to all of us - exercisers; non-exercisers; young; old; male; female.
I know, out there, you've question(s) and concern(s) as to the what, where, when and how of it that you want to ask.
I will personally answer it, to give you the best possible help and solution, based on my own experience, knowledge (my own and others) and research, on the area you're concerned about.
I want to say though....

What I share with you would be from my own experience and from knowledge I acquired through books, seminars and the online personal training program I signed up.
If you want very specific professional advice on exercise and its related topics, please go to a qualified trainer or go to the one I recommend in this site.
