Resistance bands, Medicine balls, or exercise balls (they have several types) or light dumbbells, you want light weight with a lot of repetition.

Tone is not a correct term in weightlifting. Your muscles only grow and shrink. The way to make your muscles stand out more is you have to make them bigger by doing sets of 3 and reps of 8-15 with medium weight of your one rep maximum. The other way to make your muscles stand out more is to lose fat and body weight.

push up work, weights, if you can swim in a pool, doing laps works your back and arms and some tai bo yoga and pilates stuff is really good to. i do the dvds at home because id feel ridiculous doing the workouts in front of people at the gym
