You're either adding muscle mass, maintaining muscle mass, or you're losing

muscle mass. Toning is just losing fat, I guess? So really just a term that means nothing but a lot of people naively use. Next to impossible to not lose fat without also losing muscle, except for maybe the first two months of working out after a long enough hiatus from resistance training.

Smart scale.

It's good to "tone". What does that mean? You just mean it's good to add
