Sort of. The only way to get "toned" is to lose weight. Higher reps with less weights burns slightly more calories. The best way to tone up is to diet and do cardio ALONG with a normal weight routine.

Lighter weights and extra reps. larger weights upload bulk by making use of breaking down the muscle, and then while the physique "fixes" it, it grows. Lighter weights and extra reps will proceed to tighten the present muscle mass without bulking them.

yes, more repetitions and less weight helps tone muscles. this is why women tend to lift weights in this manner. if you want to bulk up and build lots of muscle, use more weight and fewer reps.

I have read in Muscle and Fitness magazine that lighter weights and slower reps, making a pyramid of the numbers, is best.
Yet I would look to what you want to do in life. Do you want to just look good, or do you want to be able to lift more, fight harder, or what?
