If you've been chasing a "toned" look but can't seem to get there no matter what you try, this episode is for you. In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott breaks down what toned actually means—and spoiler: it's not a fitness term, it's a marketing one. Biologically, a toned physique comes down to just two things: developed muscle and a low enough body fat percentage for that muscle to be visible.She explains why so many women stay stuck—endless cardio, light weights, high reps, and severe calorie restriction don't build muscle. They destroy it. And without muscle, you'll never get the look you're after.Nikkiey walks you through the right approach: building real muscle through compound movements and progressive overload, while reducing body fat through a moderate calorie deficit and high protein intake. She also tackles the fear of "getting bulky"—one of the biggest things holding women back from lifting heavy—and reframes what it actually takes to build a stronger, leaner body.If you're ready to stop shrinking and start building, this episode will show you exactly how.If you liked this video, hit the like and subscribe button so that more videos like this will come your way once we drop them!
