Do high rep sets, followed by HIIT. Do steady state cardio in the morning before breakfast.
BTW you don't "tone your muscles". You either gain mass, or lose fat. What you want to do is lose fat.
Be sure to have a high carb/high protien/NO fat meal right after your workouts (and after your morning workouts make this low carb/high protein/no fat)
