Body Toning Advice from Expert Carmen Dura

Bright Hub: What types of exercise do you advise for your clients who just need to “tone up” their bodies?

Carmen Dura: If they are looking just to tone, then incorporating lower and upper body movements together in a circuit, I feel, works best. Beginners can try a circuit training program like the one featured here.

Bright Hub: Is toning possible when a person is overweight or obese? What factors should be considered?

Carmen Dura: It is possible to increase lean muscle. Once they lose fat all the resistance training will then show! If you don’t do the resistance training, they will look flabby once they lose a lot of weight. Don’t forget to check with your doctor before starting a new workout. PJ Striet has some good ideas about weight management for people who have CHF and other obesity related diseases too.

Bright Hub: Can a person make a noticeable improvement in body tone in one month?

Carmen Dura: Absolutely. At least, they can if they are consistent with their workouts and watch how they are eating. Just find a plan that works for you and stick to it.

Bright Hub: Is there a certain type of program that can help?

Carmen Dura: Circuit training, super setting and high rep training are all very effective.

Bright Hub: What other advice would you offer for a client trying to tone up?

Carmen Dura: Eat as clean as you can, stay consistent and always challenge yourself.

Bright Hub: Any final words of wisdom for people trying to tone up?

Carmen Dura: A change in your body is possible for anyone, at any age, man or woman. It is not easy but nothing good ever comes easy!
