| Toning
workouts are probably the most popular workouts
today. Fitness enthusiasts on television implement
them and they are used by millions of people around
the world. The basic principle of a toning workout
is high reps and low weight, however, there are
stipulations to these conditions. Everyone is different
in his/her body composition and the workouts need
to be adapted accordingly.
.......For a Tone
workout plan, I would recommend a repetition
count of 8-15 reps for each set
that you complete. Generally, a typical toning workout
involves 8-12 reps for each set, however, some may
find it more comfortable to complete 15 reps. To
gauge the amount of weight to use
is difficult and may take some experimentation.
For a single exercise, if you cannot complete more
than 8 reps, then you are using too much weight.
And vice versa, if you can easily complete more
than 15 reps, you should increase the weight you
are using. It is important to find that middle
ground for your own body and progress from
there. To get started, the following is the workout
plan I created and continue to use in order to tone
my own body. You can make any alterations you see
fit, because everyone is different. It is important
to find your niche and go with it! Consult the Exercise
pages for any questions on exercise execution.
