toning in essence is the process of becoming more vascular and the muscle showing striations (seing the muscle tissue through the skin). I'll try to explain. What this entails is decreasing the size of the fat cells and water retention under the skin which makes the muscle more pronounced. This of course is assuming that there already is a decent amount of muscle already built. Doing this creates more vascularity and makes the striations in the muscle more visable. Vascularity and striation can be seen if you ever watch a bodybuilding competition. When they flex you can actually see each muscle fiber under the skin. The more vascularity and more striations you have the more toned, shredded you look.
