This is a YouTube video titled "The Truth About Toning What You Didn't Know About Building Muscle" containing a monologue or talk from May 19, 2023, discussing common misconceptions about muscle toning and educating viewers on the reality of muscle gain and toning terminology.
I will hear clients say to me, I don't want to bulk up. I want to tone. And they'll say like, I even had a client recently say, I don't want to bulk up. I want to tone like you. And I was just like, interesting that you said that. And you know, it is about educating that toning isn't really a thing. It's a great marketing term. So unfortunately, like I find sometimes as personal trainers, we have to use that word as much as we all go when they when we hear it because that's what people think of and that's what people that's that word that people think of. So I hate using it. But at the same time, like, it gets people the image that they're thinking about. And then the education part has to come in where it's teaching them that, like, actually toning just means that you're gaining muscle mass.
