subject: How do I tone my body? [print this page] An excellent way for burning this fat off is by doing cardio exercise, like running and jumping, or jumping with the use of a skipping rope. There are more cardio options too, but these are the quickest and easiest to start with, and they are relatively low in start up cost too. Start off by working on a low or medium intensity, with the key factor of keeping your workout continuous and lengthy in time. Once you are feeling comfortable, you can push yourself to another level.
Remember to keep training your muscles so that while your fat is burning off, you will have the toned muscles to show too.
Combine your exercise by eating a healthy and balanced diet too. Include lots of vegetables and fruit with a decent amount of carbohydrates and protein too. Don't starve yourself otherwise everything you eat, will actually convert into fat, defeating the objective you started out with.
Vegetables are very rich in nutrients and have a low calorie count. Include vegetables like carrots and green leafy varieties. Proteins rich food like nuts (especially Brazil nuts which carry a high content of protein) and lean fish are excellent sources. Cut out white bread from your diet and replace with whole grain and granola.
Unfortunately, you will need to avoid processed foods like cakes and biscuits, as well as sugar rich cereals. However, don't completely deprive yourself of a sweet or chocolate, just do it now and again as a treat and not as part of your diet in whole.
A big mistake, and what most people don't realise is that training alone is not enough, remember you need to refuel your muscles to get you through each workout. Eat small meals and healthy snacks throughout the day, so don't forget to refuel your body!
