"Experts recommend that everyone do 5 to 10 minutes of stretching before launching into other forms of exercise, and then do 5 to 10 minutes of cool-down stretching after each exercise session. 4 Muscle Toning: This exercise approach involves using weights to help tighten muscles rather than build mass. The amount of weight you use should add some resistance and allow you to do many repetitions, rather than be heavy and only let you do 8 or 10 repetitions. Ankle and wrist weights as well as hand weights are included in the muscle toning category." - Deborah R. Mitchell, The Home Healing Almanac: Solutions That Will Help You Make the Best Choices About Your Health and Safety (Get the book.)

"They are great calorie burners, get the blood and oxygen flowing, are good conditioners of the cardiovascular system, and, with certain variations, can even be good for muscle toning. So they're a good thing, right? Yes. Except if you have a broken leg. If you have a broken leg, or a sprained ankle, or shin splints, I'm going to suggest to you that you not take a step class until the injury heals. Under these special circumstances, the very weight bearing that does so much good for the normal person is going to be more stress than you need during the healing phase." - Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.S., Living the Low Carb Life: Controlled Carbohydrate Eating for Long-Term Weight Loss (Get the book.)
