The Stronger Life with Sami
Ep 34. Why “Toning” = Lifting + Eating Enough (Not Starving + HIIT)
Everyone wants to be “toned” — but most people are chasing it the completely wrong way.
If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of eating less, doing more HIIT, and wondering why your body still feels soft, tired, or unchanged… this episode is for you.
In this episode, we break down what toning actually means (hint: it’s not starvation or endless cardio) and why the body you’re trying to achieve is built through lifting weights and eating enough — not burning yourself into the ground.
You’ll learn:
- What “toning” really is from a physiological point of view
- Why lifting weights is essential for shape and definition
- Why under-eating works against your goals
- How HIIT fits in — and where it goes wrong
- What to focus on instead if you want long-term results
This episode is a must-listen if you want to stop shrinking yourself and start building a stronger, leaner, more confident body — without extremes.
Strong is toned.
Fuelled beats exhausted.
And your body deserves better 💚
