The concept of muscle toning is to make muscles firmer i.e. tensing the muscle fibres that are used to support our skeleton and help us move our body and/or objects. The aim is to develop muscle strength to maintain general health and well-being.

Although mainly practised by women, muscle toning is something that anyone can do, at any age. This type of physical exercise is designed for sedentary people who no longer do regular sport or physical activity.

Toning is beneficial not only for a particular part of the body but also for the body as a whole. In this way it is different from classic gym exercises which only target one specific part of the body. This technique sculpts the body and gets you into the habit of moving. Muscle toning helps you gently get back into sports, restore your figure and firm up your whole body (tummy, backside, arms and chest).
