Muscle Toning Strengthening

Apart from helping you look fit and strong, toned or defined muscles can also make you look and feel good about yourself. The combination of diet and exercise remains the key to getting the shape you want, but it is also a fact that some areas are stubborn and won’t simply budge down. Many of us, furthermore, cannot commit to an intense workout schedule.

This is where non-invasive muscle strengthening procedures can help. Our treatments at Sanctuary by Cutis involve the use of high-frequency electromagnetic energy or diathermocontraction (diathermy + muscle contraction) to induce muscle contractions and strengthen muscle fibers.

Why do some have toned muscles while others don’t?

Several factors influence the way your body looks or how visible your muscles are. These include:

  • Genetics – some people are born with a body type that allows more fat storage or quicker muscle building. This is the reason why two people who commit to the same diet and exercise routines can still have different results.
  • How you exercise or workout – resistance or strength training increases muscle strength which leads to muscle growth. Consistent strength training can contribute to more muscle mass, and help you have defined and toned muscles.
  • The amount of fat you store or have – factors such as the food you consume and the amount of calories you burn play a role in determining the amount of subcutaneous fat you have. This fat, which is located under your skin, affects the way your muscles are going to look outside.

Spending countless hours in the gym or intense exercise will not necessarily give you more defined muscles. You also need to take note of what you eat, perform the right types of workout, manage your stress levels, and get rest or help when needed.

Why is it important to strengthen your muscles or tone your body?

Having a toned body can make you look fit and good, as well as improve your confidence and self-esteem. Here are the other benefits associated with a more defined physique.

  • Improves posture
  • Increases muscle and body strength
  • Helps improve your fitness and body appearance
  • Improves mental health and reduces stress
  • Stimulates more muscle fibers (which keeps them healthy and efficient)
  • Less injury (toned muscles protect and support joints)
