at 65K I presume your not carrying a lot of body fat,do you need to tone existing muscle or do you need to build muscle ??

thats not toning mate
you need to sort your diet out loads of protein and good fats,hits the weights at least 3 times per week if your cycling thats great but thats cardio which will eat muscle if you dont take in enough protein,the belly will go eventually

I hate the phrase "toning up".

You can't "tone" a muscle.

It's a process which involves increasing muscle mass and decreasing bodyfat to look more defined.

So, go to the gym and lift heavy and eat loads. Then in 6 months maybe try and lose some fat. So lift heavy and eat a bit less and add in some cardio.

Its the easiest thing to say and the hardest thing to do, explaining the whole process i mean...sounds so simple, eat loads, lift lots train hard....lift lots eat less and run more...simple yet so so hard to get right...

Is it just me who thinks 5'8 and 65kg is skinny? It's only 10 stone you must have skinny arms and legs and a pot belly as you say you want to lose it? Not being an arse just thought 5'8 and 65kg for a bloke is skinny as it is without losing more weight by cycling
