Guest coppelia Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I have a naturally muscular body and I was wondering if there are any excercises that I should or should not be doing in order to tone it? some info: I have wicked muscular thighs ( does that mean I shouldn't excersize them?) If you could give me some excercizes to do it would be extremly helpful. I want a well toned body not a muscular one. Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Here's another one where we have to define terms. What do you mean by "tone"? I suspect that by clinical standards, your muscle tone is excellent, but I don't think you're shooting for a medical standard of "tone". Quote Link to comment
Guest coppelia Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 No your right. I mean the long lean lines that you see on dancers that make them gorgeous. With the information can you give me any advice or excercizes??? Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Aha! You need stretches! Actually, a part of the medical definition of "tone" DOES have to do with stretching! Your very best bet for getting what you need is Pilates, particularly the apparatus exercises. The trainer then can tailor what you need to lengthen and free up the muscles which you may feel are slowing you down. There are so many threads on stretching already on the board, both active and archived, that I hardly know where to begin to tell you to search, and besides, you won't need ALL of them! That's why working with a Pilates trainer would be the very best course of action right now. Quote Link to comment
