Dr. James Burns answered

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Modest and: Progressive weight training for toning and not body building is just fine. The key is to start low and slowly build up to avoid tendon, muscle and joint trauma. Would elicit the advice of a trainer. Don't forget to incorporate aerobic exercise as well.
