As for me, I do concentrate on bigger muscles like legs, back, shoulder, triceps, biceps. I start with heavy weights for the first set on 15 reps then drop the weight 50% and make 2 sets of 25 reps. It will make your body well toned in matter of 2 weeks. Specially if I go to beach and wants to have a well toned body. They call this dynamic workout. On abs I do 25 reps each abs exercise and I do about 15 different abs exercise and in only 2 weeks I get a well toned tummy plus cardio and I only eat organic foods. I'm 9 stones and 5'6" tall, been wanting to lose at least half a stone for a trimmer body. Not for vanity but for health sake and it makes me feel good too
If I had the time, I would do something like that, but I really only have about 15 minutes. As I said I'm not trying to get big muscles, just stay reasonably toned. I do other exercises too, plenty of walking and playing football with my kids, so I'm quite happy with my fitness for a 40 something yr old
