This routine is a 3-day per week split for females looking to tone up their muscles and gain strength without bulking up or putting on muscle mass.
With each day that you are performing you are targeting all of the muscle groups, with 2 exercises per group, you are getting a full body workout with rest days splitting up the workout days.
Toning focuses upon performing exercises with lower weight and higher reps. During this routine many of the exercises being performed will be done between 10 - 12 reps (except for abdominals as those will be done around 20 reps per set).
**** Note : You can also mix any cardio into this routine on rest days or right after your workout if you aren't tired or are up for cardio.
