I have a question for anyone that knows info about working out?

[Anonymous]

Im 5'5 115lbs, I have an extremely fast metabolism, I can basically eat whatever I want and still manage to keep slim, everyone says I have a nice body, but I want to have a more "toned" look.

Can anyone:

Recommened what workouts I should do and how many days a week I should do them?

And..

how long does it take someone with my height and weight to start noticing results?

For toning up, if you go to an all womens gym, they should have a bunch of different weight machines designed specifically for women. It all depends on what you want to tone. If you want to tone your arms, there are bicep and tricep machines, as well as vertical bench press machines. Your sides, there are 2 machines (I can't remember what the muscle group is though :S), you're legs there are at least 4 different ones that I can think of, each geared towards and different part of your leg. For your stomach, crunches work best, especially if you use a ball, it makes you keep your balance as well as gives you a greater range of motion. Keep in mind that you want to tone, not add bulk, so by choosing one weight and increasing your number of reps, you will tone your muscles without adding unnecessary bulk.

As for how often you should go, a few days a week is a good amount of time. I go to the gym daily (between 5 and 6 days a week), but I'm also wanting to lose weight, not just tone.

I'm not sure how long it would take for you to notice results. Everyone is different, and they see results at different times as well. I think it mostly depends on how determined you are to tone up.

Good luck, and I hope this helps!

just do something light like swimming-if you do it every day for an hour, you'll notice results ASAP-it worked on me!

P90X If you want extreme athletic shape from your body. Hard toned muscles are for the taking if you have the ability to give it 6 days a week for 90 days of hard core training. I have the same slim body 5'10" 150 as well and did not want to get huge just toned. Do a search for P90X.

I love it

wieght training for toning use more of lighter weights tho because if you don't it turns into bulk also eat a lot of protein it will make your muscles reair themselves faster (therefore giving faster results
