"Toning" is building muscle. The processes are one and the same. Generally though, when people say they want to have "toned" arms they mean they want their arms to have a firm, muscular appearance without really increasing their diameter. Simply chosing a less intense, less frequent lifting plan while reducing body fat through regular cardiovascular exercise and a sensible diet is all that's needed to achieve a "toned" appearance.
