Toning Up - An Introduction To Getting Toned

     

  We've heard it before. And we probably said it ourselves,

especially when the beach season is just around the corner.

"I want to be more toned."

        When you ask them what they want to sing, they are likely to hear adjectives like "tight," "firm," and "casual."

• So, what is tonifying ?

      "Tone" refers to the condition of the muscles. It should be tight and firm but you should also reduce your body fat level so as not to obscure the visibility or definition.

        At rest, your muscles are in phase of partial contraction. When necessary, the muscle fibers contract to initiate your body to action. Muscle contraction is more evident in a thin but built body. That is why over the years, the word "tone" has been associated with a tight, firm and firm body.

• There are 3 components to get a toned body ...

      The first component is resistance training. When resistance is applied to the muscle, it responds by recruiting fibers to manage the amount of forces that are directed at it. Staying active often helps to tone the muscles and helps to burn excess body fat by increasing your metabolism.

      There are many ways to apply resistance to muscles, but the best way is to lift weights. With a bodybuilding program, you can adjust the amount of resistance by adjusting the amount of weight or by increasing the number of repetitions.

      The second component is cardio. The most effective form of cardio is the high intensity interval training (HIIT). Not only does your body use stored carbohydrates as the main fuel in HIIT, but its metabolism remains high 48 hours after exercise. Your body becomes a fat burning machine!

       Finally, the third component is diet and good nutrition. You need the right sources of calories to fuel your workouts and begin recovery after a productive workout session in the gym. A well planned diet consisting of healthy and nutritious foods will help unveil your toned physique!

       Implementation of all these components and their complement will be the key to a powerful body toning program.
