What are some good exercises to become toned?

[CarolinaGurl99]

I really want to loose some fat in my arms and legs, and I want to shape up my stomach. What are some good exercises that I can do at a gym or at home to tone up and have a "sexier" body?

Cardio = Anything that gets your heart rate up, from jumping up and down, to jogging/running/ skip hop, jump rope, dancing, etc.

Running will build up strength in your legs and tones up most of your lower body. You can do squats to build more toned up thighs.

Arms, push ups, light dumb bell curls,etc.

Stomach - Sit ups, crunches, Leg lifts,torso twists,bicycle obliques,etc

Thanks, I know I can do all of it, it is just a matter of getting off my lazy butt and getting started

[Phoenix1991]

Yeah I know, but try to think of your "sexy" body , go look in the mirror and tell yourself that you can get what you want.

Yes positive visualization is always important

Jump rope, jogging tennis, , aerobics or body sculpting classes in a gym, pillow fighting...

[CarolinaGurl99]

Hahaha pillow fighting sounds like the most fun part of the list : )

My teacher was telling me that my main focus should be cardio because you can't spot reduce( target certain areas) and to include a little weight training. when doing cardio your body will automatically take fat off places it feels is right.

Running and weights. Simple but effective.

it's amazing, but hurts

[CarolinaGurl99]

Yeah I used to use that a while back and would only be able to handle about 15 minutes. I need to start back with it
