Tone and Shape Training

A mixture of resistance training (weights), along with aerobic activity is needed to tone and shape your body.

With any exercise, build up gently and workout twice per week, for the first few weeks, building up to 3 times per week. Always have at least one day between workouts to ensure your muscles and nervous system recuperates.

You do not have to lift extremely heavy weights to tone and shape. Unless of course you want to 'shape' into someone with much larger muscles. However, adding a little muscle to your frame is a great idea, as it will make you look much fitter and improve your posture as well as your strength obviously.

Cardiovascular exercise is important to help burn off stored fat, along with preventing your body from storing extra unwanted fat. Running, cycling and swimming are great cardio activities, but variety is the spice of life and by changing and trying different exercises, you're less likely to get bored and much more likely to continue to reach your goals.

Everyone is different and you'll need to find out what's right for you.

Remember to always warm-up before you begin your actual workout. Warm-ups should be just enough to get the blood flowing through your muscles. Don't over do it or you'll lose the energy needed to complete your workout.

Only lift weights that match your current level of fitness, the last thing you want is an injury that will prevent you reaching your goals.
