Toned muscles or defined muscles? How do you want to sculpt your body, and what is your ultimate goal? If you strive to loose weight, get toned or get ripped and look like a professional athlete or bikini model you will have to do lots of cardiovascular workouts, as well as varied weightlifting routines, constantly upping the amounts of the weights you use. The types of workouts you do will have a huge impact on whether or not you achieve your goal, and having your goal in mind (especially when it comes to achieving toned but not overly defined muscles, or chiseled abs, chest and butt) means the difference between achieving it, or missing the mark.

When establishing your goals, it’s always good to get an accurate assessment of where you are to begin with. Check out this At Home Fitness Assessment to see what you are capable of doing, so that later on it’ll be easier to see and experience your progress.
