A regular exercise routine is not just good for our body but also our minds. It will affect our alertness, vitality, and our feeling of well-being.
Muscle toning is a form of exercise that forces a muscle to travel its full range of motion while under resistance.
There are several ways to perform muscle toning exercises.
You can increase bone density and prevent osteoporosis with exercises such as squats and lunges. These exercises will help build muscle and increase your metabolic rate which in turn will control your weight.
The obvious benefit to toning is achieving a lean, attractive body, but there are other benefits beyond the obvious. With increased muscle there is a decrease in body fat and weight. Reducing your weight will benefit your heart, joints and your entire skeletal system. You will increase your energy and flexibility with your lean toned body.
Research has shown that those people who regularly exercise have reduced stress levels and have more energy then they did before they started a regular workout routine. This in turn will be a healthier you and you will have a better attitude toward life.
Toning exercises such as crunches and planks target the abdomen. These exercises will tone your abdominal area along with improving your posture. These types of toning workouts may relieve stress to your spinal cord.
Consider joining an exercise class that targets muscle toning to learn proper form from a professional fitness instructor. Muscle toning and weight loss is a gradual process that requires a healthy diet as well as regular exercise.
When you follow a regular exercise regime it will help your mind in multiple ways. Your body increases the production of neurochemicals that promote brain cell repair. Exercising can improve your memory and lengthen your attention span, lets face it don't we all need help in that area? It will also help us with multi-tasking and planning. Prompting growth of new nerve cells and blood vessels is an added bonus to the benefits of regular exercise.
A toned body and mind is about feeling your best , finding your balance and your overall happiness.
Blessings to you all~~~ Kelly Jeffrey
