If you need heavy weights to tone your body, it means you're holding significant fat and not seeing your muscles under the fat layer.

In which case, it might be easier to lose fat instead of increasing how much weight you lift.

Toning is usually achieved easily by using one's body weight. Easily, meaning no particular suffering, but just time and repetition.

As you age, remember that stretching isn't an afterthought tacked on to the end of a workout. It's a entire activity, otherwise you WILL get hurt. Do not rush the stretch. You relax, breathe into it, and then relax once more. You will feel your muscles relaxing significantly after the breath. That moment when you feel yourself relaxing a muscle while it's stretched, is the goal you're looking for. People usually contract their muscles while stretching because they're distracted, and as a result, do not get the anti-soreness and joint-defending benefits of stretching.

“Toning” is not a thing.  You build muscle mass.  Sure, that can be done via one’s body weight, but lifting heavy weights is both more effective and has the added benefit of maintaining bone density.

As for body fat, people need it to live.  It’s not realistic to expect visible muscle definition on most people through minimizing body fat (which isn’t necessarily healthy) and doing body weight strength training alone, unless it’s particularly rigorous.[/quote]

I’m OP and I’m extremely lean naturally. My legs don’t touch and my arms are toothpicks. Any increased muscle tone is usually visible on me. But all my life, I have had visible toned thighs and no butt.[/quote]

PP you’re directly replying to, and right, because bodies are different in many ways, including where they build muscle more easily.

Heavy weights are still going to be the most efficient way to build muscle.[/quote]
