I guess it's abit like the way body builders do;just before the competition they do all this toning stuff that reall burns the fat and makes their muscles really stick out of their skins and shine...but I suspect that that shine has to do with some funny oil or something.
Anyway,they work out all along,buld the basic mass and stuff,then tone for competition.I guess toning here would be working for the actual cordination James is talkin about,while the general mass build up is the general theory knowledge and stuff.
