A toned musculature is important to support and protect the joints from incorrect movements and biomechanical loads. A joint supported by strong, toned muscles will suffer fewer injuries than a joint supported by weak muscles.
Some forms of toning, especially exercises that target the muscles in the abdomen and upper body, can also improve posture. Certain low-impact, weight-bearing exercises performed in a standing position can help tone muscle while strengthening the bones, which over time improves your posture and can reduce the risk of osteoporosis and it relieves stress on the spinal cord.
By achieving a toned, healthier body, you’ll be able to enjoy more experiences. An increase in stamina results in the ability to participate in physical activities such as swimming, dancing, walking, and other sports that may not be possible for someone out of shape.
