What does leaning out mean?

[00A]

Is it the same as getting toned. ?

Thought no such thing just weight loss and no spot weight reduction

 

[AmateurStrong]

Means going through a period of dieting where you try to lose more body fat than muscle mass over a given period of time

Toned... was a buzzword that never had a purpose.

You have getting lean(er), getting hard(er),and getting big(ger) the way I was taught, people who talk about tone are beginners. There is not muscle tone, there is muscle maturity, there is hardness, and there is bodyfat percentage.

Leaning out would be losing body fat, i.e. getting leaner.

Haha, i was waiting for someone to say basically the above, leaning our is a American phrase.. you would not hear that phrase in any proper fitness text books.. was little confused why its used alot in this community

Leaning out is a term only fat people use, like me.
I'm in the process of leaning out for 3 years now. Judging by my progress, it will take another 35 years until I'm done.

Yes it’s an American colloquialism. It just describes, often unintentional, fat loss. “I gained a bit of weight but also leaned out a bit.”
