If you are interested in improving muscular endurance or strength, you can do a variety of exercises using resistance against gravity to achieve your goals. If you want to condition your muscles with toning exercises, you can use machines and free weights at either a health club or at home. There are plenty of new things on the market to make toning more interesting including Xertubes and resistance balls. If you choose to participate in group exercise, you can enjoy the advantage of an instructor who can work with you to make sure you use the correct form, alignment and technique. Toning can really be the beginning of an exercise regimen or the finishing touch on a routine that is tried and true.
Exercise is a part of any healthy lifestyle and almost anyone can consider a toning regimen.
But even if you aren't a fitness fanatic, you may want to start your new routine with some muscle toning exercises. If you are in good shape and exercise several times a week, toning can help you achieve a chiseled muscle appearance. If you aren't in tip-top shape, toning exercise can start to tackle your spare tire or love handles. For the best combination, try walking a couple of times a week along with easy weight resistance exercises. Your routine can include regular daily walks, stretching, floor work and some low weight resistance exercises.
