Karena Dawn and Katrina Hodgson are the YouTube sensations behind the channel ToneItUpcom. They’re both certified personal trainers and nutritionists and I’ve been watching their videos for the last year or so.
I wanted to blog about these ladies now because they are currently doing a Bikini Body Series—a set of videos all created to target the areas of our body that need to be bikini ready (so basically, your entire body!)
Tonight, I did their Beach Bum workout and let me tell you, my butt was a burnin’:
and, there’s videos featuring lots of their favorite healthy snacks and treats like this one:
I hope any ladies looking for effective, fun and at-home workouts check these California gals out! I promise you’ll love their videos as much as I do.
Do YOU already follow the ToneItUp girls? Have you ever done any of their workouts? Comment below and let me know!
xoxo,
Veronika.
PS- I was not asked and am not being paid to post this, I just really love these girls and wanted to share their awesomeness with you all! Photos courtesy of the ToneItUp Facebook page.

Thanks for posting this, I was just sitting here thinking about how I wish I had a good workout to do at home on days I don't go to the gym.. I'm going to try these tomorrow!
Rissy says
this is so cool! I actually had never heard of them, but I am trying this later this week.
Decided today it is physically impossible for me to run in the afternoons so if it can't happen in the a.m. this may be happening!

I have watched alot of their videos, they seem sooo sweet. I like that their workouts are really effective & easy to remember. Sometimes, I'll remember a move & bust it out randomly at home LOL
Ally says

Thanks for posting about this! I'm currently doing P90X (for the second time around) and some days I need a little break in the routine. I think this will be perfect.
Joyful Ramblings says

I think these two girls are soo amazing! They have the best bodies in the business..I actually first saw Katrina when she was the trainer for a youtube channel called diethealth. If you have time, it's another really good channel and the host (Sara) is really cool too..

I am soooo obsessed with them right now!!! I am loving everything about them! I'm even considering their diet plan but I just can't make the commitment because of the price. Their workouts are SO great!! I haven't done the latest one yet but it is on my schedule ๐
Audra says
I just found your blog… and I'm hooked! Thanks for sharing all of your health/beauty/style secrets. You're cute as a button! ๐
And I love the Tone It Up girls! I've heard alot about them, but I definitely think I'm going to start the video series. Bikini season is right around the corner!
Kimberly says
Love the tone it up girls! I've been doing their bikini series and signed up for their fat burning nutrition plan to stay healthy and so far it's been amazing. Actually, thank youuu for introducing me to them! You talked about it in your previous post some time ago ๐
MUG says
Thank you for the suggestion! I'd never heard of them, but can't wait to check out their channel.
Lulu says
I have been following them for quite some time now and they are by far my favorite fitness gurus on YT. Their amazing bodies are totally inspiring and their videos are awesome! I have memorized a few of their workouts so I do those at home!
Sarah says
I've been on the plan since August and LOVE it!! I rave about them all the time ๐ ๐
Kinsey Michaels says

Miss K says

I love how enthused everyone is and I'm about to check them out. I so need to, lol! The only thing is, I don't think their bodies are all that great. They just look super super thin, almost anorexic.

I'm pregnant with my third right now, and hate them! lol ๐
[email protected] says
@anon1— seriously? you think they look anorexic? you should google image what actual women and girls with anorexia look like—they aren't athletes that have that much muscle tone. The tone it up girls do triathlons and stuff—they couldn't do that if they didn't nourish their bodies enough.
Josie says
I was not familiar with them. They are great! thanks for the info!
Confessions Of A Domestic Goddess says
I blogged about this a couple of weeks ago…I absolutely adore them! It's crazy how they seem to be everywhere these days!
anton says
I had never heard these before. I love to do this in my routine life practice. I like this blog.

Gotta agree with Annon..honestly I think they're too thin, but that's just an opinion. Also, my sister was clinically anorexic and worked out for usually at least 2 hours a day, so really, it's not impossible for underweight ppl to push their bodies to the extreme. Third, anyone I met (or even myself) who has lost weight that drastically has lost breast size. It's kind of interesting that they haven't..especially the brunette (also her tatoo that's in some pics and not in others= photoshop people, photoshop). Honestly, I just don't think it's really realistic for most women to look "just" like them- but we can look our very best. P.S. Hubby says way too skinny too..so maybe it's not just me and Anon.
Michรฉlle says
Love K & K and I'm on the Tone It Up team ๐ The workouts are insane!! They target all the "trouble areas" women often have. I'm following their regular plan, but I'm doing the Red Carpet diet closer to Summer. Can't wait to get defined!
They have that perfect Victoria Secret body and I'm aiming to get there! AND the hair! Haha ๐
xo Michelle
Sara Rothkegel says
Wow I don't think they look too skinny at all! More like a realistic goal that I could reach by getting off my lazy ass and eating right. I'm pregnant and huge right now so that is my excuse ๐
