Join a gym, buy workout equipment or get some free weights. The main thing you need to focus on to tone your body is your muscle mass. For men, you probably want to bulk up. For women, you want to have lean muscles. You must do some form of weight training every day to see results. It's not about how long you use the weights; it's how well you use them. You need to use proper form and work out all the parts of your body that you would like to tone up.

Get aerobic exercise at least three times a week for 30 minutes at a time. You cannot spot-reduce, so if you want to tone your tummy, you must eliminate excess fat from your entire body to see the muscles you are going to develop. This is the same for any part of your body.

Eat healthy. You want to eat a lot of lean proteins. Since you will be doing a lot of weight training, you need to ingest around the same amount of calories that you burn so that you do not lose weight or lose muscle mass.
