You cannot directly tone muscles, nor target directly the toning of single muscles. Getting that "toned" look comes from being in a caloric deficit (eating slightly under maintenance calories), coupled with a good Weightlifting regime. Unfortunately, some people store more of their body fat in different areas sometimes making certain muscle "tones" harder to achieve.

What is muscle tone?
Muscle tone refers to residual muscle tension or in another words levels of contraction of the muscle while at rest. Muscle tone is what makes the muscles feel and look like while at rest.
What is the term meaning abnormal condition of the muscle?
Atonia is the term for no muscle tone. Hypotonia is the term used when discussing too little muscle tone. Hypertonia is the term used when discussing too much muscle tone.
What is the discussion about the physiology of muscle contraction?

Are free weights good for muscle tone?
Free weights can be excellent for muscle tone! Get a lighter set and do a large number of sets for good tone.
What is the medical term meaning abnormal tone?
Dystonia is an abnormal condition of muscle tone. Some specific types of dystonia include atonia (no muscle tone); hypotonia (too little muscle tone); and hypertonia (too much muscle tone). Increased muscle tension can cause the muscle to go into spasm. This is called tetany. I don't know which term of muscle tone you are referring to, but I have cerebral palsy, so I can answer this easily. There are two terms that commonly describe abnormal muscle tone. One is hypertonia and the other is hypotonia. In hypertonia, too much tone enters the body. Muscles become stiff and sometimes stuck in certain positions (e.g. walking on the toes). In hypotonia, there is not enough tone to perform certain tasks. Muscles may act floppy or uncontrolled. Tone is very powerful, so a person who has problems typically cannot overcome it on their own.
Constant contraction of a muscle is?
constant contraction of a muscle is called the muscle tone
What do you call the natural tension in the fibers of a muscle?

What is resting tension in a skeletal muscle called?
muscle tone
What is gross tone?
Gross tone refers to the overall tension or muscle tone in the body that can be observed through movements and palpation. It indicates the general level of muscle activation in a person's body. Changes in gross tone can be indicative of neurological conditions or muscle imbalances.
What is the medical term meaning bad muscle tone?
Dystonia is the medical term meaning bad muscle tone.
What is hyptonia?
Hypotonia means "low tone," and refers to a physiological state in which a muscle has decreased tone, or tension. A muscle's tone is a measure of its ability to resist passive elongation or stretching.
