Question 1

can you suggest tips for toning my abs?

Accepted Answer

All about Abs.: To tone abs consider doing crunches, reverse crunches, exercise ball crunches, pelvic thrusts, lying leg raises, side bridge & the “bicycling” exercise on your back.  Insure that you are engaging in regular aerobic exercise. 45 minutes a day would be a good goal to shoot for.

Question 2

what would be exercises for body toning?

Accepted Answer

Strength training: A combination of serial strength training and cardio is the best. You need to keep your body fat down and tone the underlying muscles.

Question 3

what exercises are good for toning your body?

Accepted Answer

Body Weight: Body weight exercises are great for toning.  There are endless workout programs and fitness classes that utilize this philosophy.  Learning how to move your own body, opposed to a machine, also helps increase stability and balance.

Question 4

which is better for toning: kendo or kickboxing?

Accepted Answer

Interesting question: I'm surprised they have kendo in Morrilton, AR!!!  I've taken kendo, and still do kickboxing. I love both, but I would give the edge to kickboxing.  Kendo will really work your legs and arms, but kickboxing probably burns more calories, which is the bottom line when it comes to toning and getting rid of excess body fat.  Both build muscles. I would try both if u can, and stay with the one u like!

Question 5

what's an effective exercise for toning your butt?

Accepted Answer

Squats and lunges: Good nutrition including protein. Resistance traing(weight lifting), leg press, knee extensions, hamstrings curls, squats and lunges.

Question 6

what physical activity can help me achieve toning?

Accepted Answer

Body-weight moves: Consider core-strength based movements which train your body to move itself first. Then consider increasing resistance as muscle pairs actually gain strength and balance.
Eg. Pilates, yoga, plyometrics.

Accepted Answer

Calisthenics: Any exercise that you can do that involves the entire body, walking, swimming, biking, kickboxing, pilates, yoga, cross fit, will lead to increase tone. Just go slow and stick with it.

Question 8

what should my diet be if i'm toning up and trying to lose that last layer of fat?

Accepted Answer

Low carbohydrates: A lower carbohydrate diet usually works great at losing belly fat.  Need to add some good cardio, usually 45-60min sessions, ideally 4-5 times per week.  Lots of water - at least 2-4 liters per day.
