6 Exercises To Strengthen and Tone Your Body

We all wish there were a quick fix to get our bodies into shape and while there isn't a quick fix, there is definitely something that will help get results: 6 Exercises To Strengthen and Tone Your Body. Consistency, a healthy lifestyle, a positive mind, and exercise will not only give you results, but you are also setting yourself up with a healthy body that will last you throughout all different phases in your life. Choosing exercises that can give you top-notch results will mentally keep you going, and physically you will gain a stronger, leaner body from the inside out.

Warrior Pose

That’s right. Think yoga! You do not have to be at the gym to gain the benefits of this powerful pose. Yoga uses muscles that you didn't even think you had. The warrior pose II works your legs, glutes, hips, core, chest, shoulders, and arms. The stronger you get at the warrior pose, the more endurance you will build up as well.

Weighted Squat with Arm Extension

Don’t be afraid to mix it up. Compound exercises (combining more than one move) help you build muscle faster, increase core stability, and burn more calories. To do the weighted squat, stand with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and then lift your arms up over your head. Then squat while lowering the dumbbells to the floor. Start by doing ten weighted squats with a lower dumbbell weight and each week, add more squats with increasingly heavier weights.

Swimming

Hit the pool. Swimming works your whole body and is gentle on your joints. Maybe have some fun and hit an aquatics class if your gym offers it. Swimming will help you increase endurance, build and tone muscle, improve cardiovascular health, and maintain a healthy weight.

Burpees

We love them, and we hate them. Burpees simultaneously work both strength and aerobic ability. They have grown in popularity, not because we can't get enough of them, but because they work. You may be breathing heavily after a handful of these when executed correctly, but rest assured, in time you will be knocking more of them out and increasing your endurance, strength, muscle, and overall health. Burpees are a great addition to any fitness routine whether you are a beginner or expert. Begin in a standing position, then drop into a squat. Kick back into a plank position, move back into a squat and jump up. Start with 10 burpees and then add ten more to your workout each week. Keep challenging yourself, and you will see results.

Kettlebell Swings

Your form is most important to give you maximum results. Kettlebell swings work your whole body. If you are looking to burn fat, burn calories, improve aerobic health, endurance, and tone your muscles, you may consider investing in a kettlebell and start working your body. Stand with your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart. PLace the kettlebell a foot in front of you. Grab the kettlebell with both hands with your feet flat and your weight balanced toward your heels. swing the kettlebell between your legs and then swing it up again. Start with 10 ketllebell swings and repeat this 4 times in your workout set.

Planks

Start in a push-up position with your hands directly under your shoulders. Engage your core and hold your body in a straight line from head to heels. Hold this position for a set amount of time, gradually increasing as you get stronger. Get started with 30 second planks and increase the time by 15 seconds each week

Remember to warm up before exercising and cool down afterward. Also, vary your routine, include cardiovascular exercises, and maintain a balanced diet with clean quality protein like Sunwarrior's Lean Superfood Shake. These habits will support your fitness goals. If you're new to these exercises, consider working with a fitness trainer to ensure proper form and technique.

Strengthening and toning your body may take a few weeks to start seeing lasting results. Being consistent, eating a healthy diet, staying active, getting adequate sleep, and staying hydrated all play an essential role in achieving maximum results. Remember to think compound exercises, and focus on moves that will challenge you and your body. Mix it up, have fun, and enjoy creating a strong, healthy you.
