Gain Muscle and get cut? (Best Answer)?

How about swimming? It's a great exercise and tones all the body muscles and is not strenuous to muscles like running is. To tone the tummy, if you're worried about that, there are sit ups and crunches. That will firm up the tummy and you'll lose inches around the waist. As to muscle build-up, weights will make you stronger and firm up the abs and arms. But that takes time and perseverance meaning real commitment.
