Muscle toning
To tone muscle while on your fitness trainer you will
need to have the resistance set quite high. This will
put more strain on our leg muscles and may mean you
cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are also
trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your
training program. You should train as normal during the
warm up and cool down phases, but towards the end
of the exercise phase you should increase resistance
making your legs work harder. You will have to reduce
your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.
Weight loss
The important factor here is the amount of effort you
put in. The harder and longer you work the more
calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if
you were training to improve your fitness, the difference
is the goal.
