ThirdAge fitness guru Chad Tackett says to remember that any "toning" is really a process that involves adding lean muscle (by doing weightlifting exercises) and decreasing body fat, which is done by an effective cardiovascular program. <BR><BR> Cardio exercise is the only method of exercise that directly "burns" body fat. Weightlifting does indirectly help you decrease body fat (tone) by improving your metabolism, but there is a common misconception that doing tricep exercises, for example, will help you lose the flab under your arms. It will strengthen your arms, but the fat will still be there if you don't do enough cardio exercise, Tackett says.<BR><BR> The most effective way of improving muscle tone, in addition to weightlifting, is increasing the frequency (times per week) and duration (minutes per session) of a cardio routine. Even if you're doing cardio exercise daily, increasing the session by five or 10 minutes will probably make a major difference in results.<BR><BR> Of course, you only want to make this increase if it is realistic to fit in your schedule. A successful exercise program requires that it be fun, something you look forward to and feel good about afterwards. <BR><BR> Get more of Chad's hints on personal fitness at ThirdAge's <a href="http://www.thirdage.com/insider/health/chad/925855430.html">Personal Trainer</a>. <!--BSHENDBODY--> </font><!--END CONTENT--><br clear="all"><div style="margin-top: 15px;" align="center"><!--#include virtual="/includes/ads/health/gen/7.adonly.html"--></div><p><!--BEGIN BOTTOM BOX--><!--#include virtual="/news/articles/includes/bottom/health.html"--><p><!--BEGIN SEARCH--><!--#include virtual="/includes/search/424.html"--><p><!--BEGIN PULLQUOTES--><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="424" class="bgpullquotes"><tr><td height="2" colspan="4" class="bgpullquoteline"><spacer type=block width=1 height=2></td></tr><tr><td height="3" colspan="4"><spacer type=block width=1 height=3></td></tr><tr><td><spacer type=block width=1 height=1></td><td colspan="3" class="pullquotehed"><!--#include virtual="/includes/pullquotes_seo02/channel_name/health.html"--></td></tr><tr><td height="5" colspan="4"><spacer type=block width=1 height=5></td></tr><!--#include virtual="/includes/pullquotes_seo02/health.html"--><tr><td width="7" height="10"><spacer type=block width=7 height=10></td><td width="14" height="1"><spacer type=block width=14 height=1></td><td width="383"><spacer type=block width=383 height=1></td><td width="20"><spacer type=block width=20 height=1></td></tr></table></td><td rowspan="2"></td><td rowspan="2"><!--BEGIN ULI--><div class="uli"><!--#include virtual="/includes/uli_seo01.html"--></div><p><!--BEGIN SKYSCRAPER--><!--#include virtual="/includes/ads/health/nl_news/6.html"--><br></td><td rowspan="2"> </td></tr><tr valign="top"><!--BEGIN LEFT COL--><td class="bgleftcol"><div style="padding-top: 10px;"><!--BEGIN LOGO--><!--#include virtual="/includes/logos/logo_seo02.html"--></div><p><!--BEGIN TOPICS--><!--#include virtual="/includes/topics_seo02/health.html"--><!--BEGIN ACTIVITIES--><!--#include virtual="/includes/activities_seo02/health.html"--><p align="center"><!--BEGIN NEWS SIGNUP--><!--#include virtual="/news/signup_boxes_left_col/health.html"--></p><p align="center"><!--BEGIN LEFT COLUMN BOTTOM AD--><!--#include virtual="/includes/ads/health/nl_news/3.html"--></p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" align="center"><div style="padding-top: 10px;"><!--BEGIN BOTTOM ADS--><!--#include virtual="/includes/ads/health/nl_news/5.html"--><!--END BOTTOM ADS--></div></td></tr><tr><td width="134" height="10"><spacer type="block" width="134" height="10"></td><td width="15"><spacer type="block" width="15" height="1"></td><td width="424"><spacer type="block" width="424" height="1"></td><td width="15"><spacer type="block" width="15" height="1"></td><td width="160"><spacer type="block" width="160" height="1"></td><td width="10"><spacer type="block" width="10" height="1"></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><!--END MAIN TABLE--><p><!--BEGIN FOOTER--><!--#include virtual="/includes/footers/health/footer.centered.html"--><br><!--TEMPLATE:/newsstory_archive/ALT02.htmp--><!--CHANNEL:health--><!--CAT:nl_news--><br></div></body></html>
