Walking and Jogging are great for overall fitness and losing weight. You can tone your body even quicker if you add some strength training to your fitness plan. Start building muscles and kick-start your fitness level. You can tone your body and feel more energetic with every other day weight lifting.
Experts generally agree that taking a day off in between strength training workouts is best for healthy muscle growth.
Getting Started:
Try to do 8—12 repetitions per activity that count as 1 set. Try to do at least 1 set of muscle-strengthening activities, but to gain even more benefits, do 2 or 3 sets.
You can do activities that strengthen your muscles on the same or different days that you do aerobic activity, whatever works best. Just keep in mind that muscle-strengthening activities don't count toward your aerobic activity total.
There are many ways you can strengthen your muscles, whether it's at home or the gym. You may want to try the following:
* Lifting weights
* Working with resistance bands
* Exercises that use your body weight for resistance (i.e., push ups, sit ups)
