Well, as far as the weight exercises it's not too much on the surface but it depends on the volume of it. How many sets and reps?

As far as toning it depends on what you mean but I take it you mean defintion which depends largely on fat-loss (not to be misconstured as WEIGHTLOSS).

I would avoid cardio before weight work. Anything that undermines your performance in the weight room has got to be detrimental to your goals not to mention the fact that there could be catabolic effects. Try and separate the two.

It's not good to get into trying to isolate specific muscles. Try to stick with compound exercises for the most part and think of natural movements. Multi joint exercises will put on more fat burning muscle and will allow more weight which will go a lot further in giving you firmness, if that is what you mean by tone.

I think you would be much better off designing a simple full-body program with balance and concentrating on compound movements.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
