The muscle tone, in essence, is a persistent state of slight contraction, perceptible even at rest. An increased specific contractile capacity, gives a more fitness aspect, improving both the purely aesthetic aspect and the physical performance capacity in general, giving greater self-confidence; consequently bringing positive results to one's social life.
Concretely, a significant change that can be immediately perceived by the female public, which has always been debating, is the lower compressibility of the specific muscle. Taking as an example the thigh in a female subject, with the same volume, with an increased tonicity, wear jeans, which until before the most tonic state bandaged by partially compressing the leg, is now difficult. This is not only an indication of an increase in muscle mass, but of an increased tonicity, consequently of a lower compressibility. The woman lacks the hormonal structure apt to provoke a significant response to an increase in muscle mass; its level of testosterone "determinant hormone for muscle development" is 10-30 times lower than that of man, consequently its anabolic action is very reduced.
In light of what has been written so far, we can talk about practice in the gym ... There is an intensity threshold above which remarkable results are obtained and under which the improvement is null; this data must be customized in the specific case with your personal trainer. In principle it would be better to distribute the training session on a circuit particularly prone to solicit some specific points "thighs in general, inner leg, buttocks, triceps" with method of overload, without fear of increases in strength with large loads. For the increasingly frequent problems of stagnation of liquids in the lower part of the body, it is advisable to perform a "lying down, supine position with high legs resting" for a few minutes and reverse the order of execution of the exercises, starting with lower body areas, to progress upwards. Propose a few minutes of mild aerobic activity at the end of the session, useful in order to eliminate excess lactic acid. In reality, in every high-impact sporting activity, problems often arise, rather than due to the high intensity of loads, the inadequate technique of execution and the wrong postures assumed during the execution of the exercises. All the more reason, then, posture and technical execution will have to be taken care of down to the smallest detail, especially in this kind of training session.
