Increase Muscle Tone

1. Eat properly. Eating a healthy diet is essential to quickly building muscle tone. Foods are enriched with vitamins, nutrients and minerals. You need these to build muscles. Consume a healthy portion of protein, carbohydrates and fat. In addition, you may want to avoid too much dairy or wheat. These can decrease the rate of muscle growth.

2. Lift weights. However, there's a trick to resistance training. Some people assume that the heavier the weights you lift, the more muscle tone you build. This is incorrect. Choose a weight that is right for your body. You need the right intensity because lifting a heavy weight can result in quick fatigue and muscle damage. On the other hand, a small weight may produce unimpressive results.

3. Get a personal trainer. Some people have difficulty building muscle tone. If you are unable to accomplish this on your own, consider hiring a personal trainer. She can provide advice and tips on workouts and diet and show you how to benefit the most from weight training equipment.

Leg lifts target the lower abdomen, whereas crunches tone the middle and upper abdomen. To get rid of "love handles," concentrate on abdominal workouts that target the oblique muscles.
