Certified instructor Toning your body
is a great way to get your muscles conditioned and
strong. Toning exercises can help raise your
metabolism (the way you burn food energy) by
building muscle. Certain toning exercises may help
prevent osteoporosis by keeping your bones strong.
Toning can even help to release stress from your
body.
Cardiovascular workouts are designed to balance
three factors for maximum effectiveness and safety:
frequency, intensity and duration.
In order for an
exercise to be considered "cardiovascular" or
"aerobic," it needs to elevate your heart rate to 60
to 85 percent of its maximum rate (the fastest it
could possibly beat). When you're in the aerobic
zone, you should be able to talk, but not able to
carry on a long conversation.
