Your Toned BodyAchieving a toned body doesn't have to be hard or complicated. In fact, it can be as simple as choosing the right type of exercise for your goals.
You may have questions like: What type of workout do I need to do? How often do I need to do it? How can I get the best results?
Below discover the answers to these questions, along with Tips for enhancing your results.
Principle 1 - You can do it Your body was created to be healthy. It was designed for daily activity. When you begin to give it the exercise it desires it will give you the energy, vitality, and health, you deserve. Principle 2 - Be healthy. By choosing to exercise to increase your energy, vitality, and health, you will achieve a toned body by accident. Does it makes sense to get in shape and destroy your health? Always exercise/eat for your health--losing inches, weight, and toning will happen by itself. Principle 3 - It is better to do a little consistently, than try to do too much--and do it inconsistently.
Example 2 (trying to do too much) - Monday 60 minutes on a treadmill, Wednesday 75 minutes
on a treadmill, Friday no workout (too tired and sore), Monday 60 minute workout, Wednesday
no workout (too sore and getting sick of working out Can you see how Example 1 will give you the best results? Are you interested in getting the best results? If you ever were going to start getting the best results, when do you think would be the best time to start?
For toning and losing body fat, both circuit training and aerobic exercise (i.e. walking on a treadmill) work very well. Circuit training will work best for individuals who want to lose inches. People who circuit train can lose excess weight, however, because they will be doing resistance exercise, their body's composition will change (they will have less body fat and more toned muscle). In contrast, aerobic exercise will work best for individuals who want to lose weight.
For circuit training either the Bowflex Selecttech dumbbells or a Bowflex home gym will work well. They have been designed to enable you to change from one exercise to another quickly. The Bowflex selecttech system offers both good resistance (up to 52.5Ibs.) and 30 exercises to choose from. On the other hand, investing in a premium Boflex home gym will give you access to 410Ibs. of resistance and 60 to 100 exercises to choose from.
For aerobic exercise, you could get good results from a Tony Little Gazelle, a treadmill, or even the Bowflex Treadclimber. Premium home gym equipment like the Bowflex Treadclimber offer additional features like: heart rate monitors, time/speed trackers, calories burned display, etc. However, you could still get great results from a Tony Little gazelle.
