There are mainly three areas for women that need to be focused on for a body toning workout. There can be more, however to create an all over body toning workout. The three main areas are the butt, thighs and stomach. The extra areas we will look at today are the shoulders, hamstrings, back and arms. By toning all these areas a woman could not only get a good body, she can get a great body. Let’s look at how incorporating these other areas in your toning workout can benefit you. We will take each area one by one and examine them. Shoulder Toning Workout For one thing, creating stronger shoulders will help to create more of an hourglass figure. Having a bigger top will make your waist look smaller. Also, having strong shoulders will help to prevent many back injuries and daily pains. When summer time rolls around, having nice shapely shoulders will help you look sexier in those tank tops and sleeveless dresses. Do these exercises for a great shoulder toning workout: Arm Circles- Pretty self explanatory, just make sure to keep your back straight and your core engaged. Do it big and small, forward and backward. Overhead Press Hold- To do this, hold two dumbbells or cans of food in your hands by your ears. Push them up to the ceiling five times and on the sixth time hold them up there for 20 seconds. Hamstring Toning Workout The hamstring is the muscle in the back of the leg that runs from your knee to your butt. It is a complimentary muscle to the butt. It is also a problem area for cellulite. No matter what pills or creams you try, the only cure for cellulite is spot toning and fat reduction. Here is a good hamstring toning workout: Hamstring Lift- Get on hands and knees and lift one leg up with a bent knee. Kick it up to the ceiling five times and then bend the leg in to touch the butt with your heel five times. Then straighten the leg and raise the leg up to the ceiling five times. Repeat this process once more and switch to the other leg. Back Toning Workout Like the hamstring is a complimentary muscle to the butt, the back is a complimentary muscle to the stomach. You can’t effectively hold your stomach muscles tight without having a strong back. A strong back can also look very sexy in a bikini. Here is a good back toning workout: Supermans: To perform this move, lay on the ground face down with your arms and legs extended. Lift both your arms and both your legs off the ground about 6 inches and hold for 10 seconds. Make sure to breathe. Repeat 6-8 times. Arm Toning Workout There are two main parts of the arm that should be focused on; the triceps and the biceps. The triceps are the muscles on the back of the arms that tend to get flabby when out of use and the biceps are those muscles that men can build by brushing their teeth. Women on the other hand, have to work harder to build biceps but that is okay, because the best type of biceps for women are long and lean. Here is a great arm toning workout: Tricep Extensions- Hold a weight behind your head with both hands. Raise it up towards the ceilings until your arms are completely extended. Slowly bring it back down and repeat. Bicep Curls- This is probably the most performed arm exercise but it is very effective. Simply hold a weight in one hand at your side. Bend at the elbow and raise the weight up towards your chest with your palm facing your body.
