How can i tone my body in other ways than lifting and running?!
Question: What most call toning, I call decreasing your body fat percentage. You need to create a calorie deficit and burn more than you take in. If you chose not to run or lift weights however, you are unlikely to reach your full metabolic potential to burn those calories. By engaging in resistance training (lifting) you are increasing your metabolism. This increases skeletal muscle density. This means more calories must be burned to provide energy to the muscles . Also neuromuscular efficiency is gained through weight training. You muscles will react faster to commands from your brain. Running is just as important since initiates the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption phenomenon that causes an after exercise calorie burn. Also endurance activities such as running will burn carbohydrate as well as stored fat calories. So while you may be able to tone your body through diet and an alternate activity like swimming or group exercise, you will see faster and better results if you include resistance and cardio activities.
