There is so much information out there regarding weight loss and building muscle and toning, etc., I figure someone must know what is best by now. I'm looking to lose about 10 pounds, to firm up all over, and to build more muscle and more tone mostly in my stomach, shoulders, and back. I figure everywhere else is just extra. I know you can't spot reduce, we've all heard that enough, but I just want those areas to be toned. I eat a very good diet, I think. And I've been running for the past few weeks (just came back from a knee injury). But my stomach is still really flabby. I'm looking for the best combination of diet, cardio, and strength to make this happen. I only like to do strength at home. It can still be done right? Thanks in advance.

To TONE, you must lower your bodyfat, which comes by cardio mostly and a healthy diet. You technically do not need to do resistence training to tone up but its a good idea as it will increase your strength and get those muscles working. Dont worry about gettin 'bigger' as you'll only do that if you eat more calories than what you need. Just do plenty of cardio, watch what you eat, and that should help lower your body fat percentage, and thats when you get to see those nice abs :D
