Best Ways to Tone body

Stress causes your body to release a hormone that makes you gain weight and lose muscle. Do all you can (exercise, meditate, get enough sleep, etc.) to de-stress so you don’t end up putting on weight.

The most helpful tool here is exercise. Exercise not only helps with the process of toning your body, but it also releases endorphins which counter the hormones produced because of stress, which in turn helps you tone your body.

Squats are one of the easiest exercises that you can do anywhere anytime. They help strengthen your core and the lower body. Squats also raise your heart rate which means they help you shed weight. Perform at least 3 sets of 15 reps each to begin toning your legs and butt.

Abdominal stretches can strengthen your core and build abs. There are numerous exercises for a flat tummy and toned tummy. Crunches can tone abs and get you in shape. But if you want to lose a bulging belly, you need to restrict your diet and adopt a healthier and active lifestyle. A belly pouch can form due to reasons such as poor diet, poor sleep, and no or little exercise. Cut down at least 500 calories a day and switch to an intense workout such as cardio or HIIT to start losing belly fat. To shape your belly and lose weight simultaneously, try exercises that engage your core.

Jumping jacks help you work a lot of muscles in your body and they are also fun. Play your favorite music and dance to the beat or jump to it. Make sure you use almost all the muscles of your body by raising your arms to the highest point, tightening your core, and spreading your legs wide apart.

Load up on as many fruits and vegetables as you can. It’s no secret that these two are a healthy eating choice and will provide you with essentially all the vitamins and nutrients your body needs. They also have ample fiber and help your body with the digestion process. They are an excellent way to fast-track your progress to a toned body.

Yoga is by far the best exercise for getting a good posture. If you want to tone up the body and improve your posture, yoga can be the way to go. The cat and cow pose of yoga are performed together to destress your body, release tension from the back and strengthen the abdominal muscles. To perform this yoga posture, get on all four and arch your back by bending it as low as possible. This is the cat pose. Hold for 30 seconds and move on to cow pose by raising your shoulders and back to reverse the last posture. Make sure to take deep breaths and engage your core throughout. 

Walking offers both physical and mental benefits for the body. Also, unlike HIIT, walking will not stress your body, which translates to an increased fat burn ratio.

The reason for this is that low-intensity workouts like walking use more fat than calories for energy.

Walking is especially good for women because the first area from where fat disappears is the abdomen – something all women want.
