Great post Mike, detailed and yet simple enough to comprehend. It is strange how good marketing and advertising makes people do the silliest things like pumping more sugar into their bodies while they are actually trying to get rid of it

No reason not to follow a similar kind of training or exercises. Being “toned” is just a fancy way of having muscle and lower bodyfat definition. I would focus more on “intensity” stuff for your “cardio” (aka more intervals, less steady cardio) and then use your bodyweight/weights to boost your strength (pushups, pullups, etc). You can still be active in life with jogging and running if you want, just don’t make it your primary focus…..just have more a fun active lifestyle mindset.

Hey Mike,

I have heard that men and women should not follow the same work outs. I’m a 21 year old female who is looking to switch from being a daily jogger to someone who is toned, healthy, and slender. I’m having some trouble figuring out where to start. Your post did help me greatly, and I wanted to thank you!

Cliff – Good stuff, always a compliment to be accused of using steriods (means you are getting results!). Some people can also superset (which is what I like to do to cut down on gym time) between 2 antagonistic exercises (like a heavy press and heavy pull). That was Iâ€™m still 60sec between doing something, and still really 2-3 min between each set on the same exercise. But there are many ways about it and they all can work. Sounds like you got your eating down also! Great job, keep it up!

Harald – Didnâ€™t you hear, water went out of style years ago! lol. Yes sad that people think they need fuel (unless you are already lean and looking for more performance based workouts). Overweight people should not be drinking gatoradeâ€¦..any time during the day.

Absolutely fantastic post. I especially enjoyed the part about GATORADE! I always see people pumping themselves full of Gatorade at the gym, and I wonder why they just donâ€™t drink H20! I like Gatorade, but not because it makes me a better athlete! I am going to bookmark this post and return often. Great tips! I will make sure to keep my workouts short and sweet and often. Thanks for sharing!!
