Weight Loss Toning
Weight loss toning makes sense doesn’t it? Really now who wants to lose weight and not tone their body while they do it? After all, if you don’t then you’re left with flabby upper arms for all to see as they jiggle along every time you wear a sleeveless top. Not to mention those flabby thighs that keep you from wearing your favorite shorts. As you no doubt know only exercise can tone your body and keep you looking your best so that no matter what you wear you look GREAT!
Toning the body
Another question you may have on resistance training is how often it’s done. Usually 2-3 days a week is sufficient depending on your goals and how much time you have to devote to it. Keep in mind muscles need at least 24 hours of rest for best results. This rule pertains primarily to resistance training not stretching or cardio exercises which can be done daily.
Now let’s go into bit of detail on how many repetitions and sets to start with. Beginners should start out at most doing 2 sets of 8-10 reps for all major muscle groups. The major muscle groups being: legs, back, chest, abs, shoulders and arms. Most likely you can be finished in 30-45 minutes minutes. Naturally, you want to do 5- 10 minutes of warm up exercises and or stretches before resistance training to prevent injury.
Finally, if you tone and lose weight at the same time you not only feel better, but look better too. Nobody wants sagging, flabby skin. Furthermore, it’s much healthier and faster when you combine toning exercises with a safe balanced diet than to do one without the other. For this reason weight loss toning will be a great asset to your weight loss plan
