THREE SIMPLE TONING EXERCISES FOR FIRM SKIN

Incorporate these three simple toning exercises into your next workout:

1. ARM LIFTS WITH FREE WEIGHTS

Holding free weights, stand with your arms down by your side and face your wrists behind you
Lift both arms up to the level of your shoulders and slowly lower back down
Repeat ten times and do three sets, resting in between each set

Try to incorporate free weights into your everyday activities, like walking the dog.

2. BALANCED LEG LIFTS

Start on the ground in a full push-up position, making sure your body is in a straight line from your head to your heels
Shift your weight to your left hand, stack your right foot on top of your left foot and reach your right arm up to the sky
Lift your right leg up about 10cm and lower - five times

Complete three sets and then switch sides.

3. GO FOR A RUN

Running is one of the best ways to improve your circulation and cardio fitness.

Being directly linked to your muscles, your skin benefits from the boosted circulation and the direct loss of fat cells. Plus, combining toning exercises with cardio makes your body work harder on toning. This makes it easier to lose unwanted impurities in your body.
