How to Increase Muscle Tone
When we ask someone about their fitness goals, one of the most common responses is “I want to tone up.”
This is usually followed up by a comment about not wanting to
get bigger from lifting weights.
Increasing muscle tone typically is the result of 2 components: increasing lean muscle and decreasing body fat resulting in more definition for your muscles.
Everyone is different and some people will lose weight without increasing muscle tone while others may increase muscle tone but not lose weight.
We all have lean muscle mass and our body fat is like the hoodie that hides our muscle tone.
If you can remove the hoodie (body fat), the muscle tone becomes more visible.
Increasing the amount of lean muscle on your frame doesn’t mean you’ll get bigger or heavier, but it will help change your body composition.
Your body composition has more to do with your muscle tone than your body weight.
If you received 10 pounds of money every payday, you suddenly care if the 10 pounds is made of pennies or twenties.
The same holds true for your body weight. What matters more is your body composition as this controls your muscle tone.
Strength training 2 to 3 times each week will help increase your lean muscle mass.
Improving the quality and quantity of your nutrition will help you reduce body fat.
Adding weekly strength training and improved nutrition will help you feel better and improve your muscle tone.
