I'm wanting to tone my body more by ultimately loosing a bit of body fat in order to see my abs more. I'm a very fit person already and workout in some form everyday. I'm a bit stuck on what workouts to do as I've been doing my workouts for 3 months now and have seen no difference. I'm looking into buying some resistance bands and dumbbells but I'm not sure if these will help me get more toned and if I do get them what sort of workouts should I do with them?

Callisthenics will get you ripped. Combine Calisthenics with a quality diet and you should be good to go. It will also save you money just in case you don’t want to buy any dumbbells.Originally Posted by userAJSOWQOMJ4Q

Losing bodyfat gets you 'ripped', building muscle over time with progressive overload will build actual tissue.The power of carbs compels me!

Yeah i already know that and I’m pretty sure the OP already knows that as well. That’s why I said callisthenics as I personally think callisthenics is a great method to use in your daily routine to help assist with losing body fat.Originally Posted by AdamWW

Only way to lose fat is to be in a caloric deficit.
Easiest way to insure that you are in one is to count/track your calories.
It's a lot harder to overcome a bad, out of control diet with just exercise.~ Like Tae-Kwon-Leap, my goals are not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.

It won't burn nearly as much as basic walking/cardio and just reducing calorie intake...Originally Posted by AlphaMentality4

Very true in saying walking/cardio is good for fat loss but so are burpees. If your doing tons of burpees during the day that will burn fat at a decent rate too. You can also add different layers to your burpees and increase the intensity.Originally Posted by AdamWW

Burpees don't burn fat, they burn calories. You can do 1000 burpees a day and if you're still eating too muich you'll never lose an ounce of fat.Originally Posted by AlphaMentality4
All it takes is consistency, effort, proper nutrition, good programming, and TIME.

no exercise burns fat. Fat is burned when there is a cumulative amount of calories burned that is lower than calories ingested over time. Exercise simply deducts calories from the calories burned column. The vast majority of overall calories burned is not from exercise but from NEAT. Diet is the biggest factor in fatloss.Originally Posted by AlphaMentality4
