Summary

Are you tired of hearing about "toning" workouts that promise results but never deliver? You're not alone! In this episode of The Holly Perkins Health Podcast, I dive deep into the misconception surrounding muscle toning, particularly for women over 40. The fitness industry's portrayal of 'toning' is, quite frankly, misleading. Muscles can only grow, shrink, or maintain their size—there's no magical exercise that will tone them. So, how do we achieve that lean, defined look we desire? It all comes down to building muscle and reducing body fat.
