Description

In the context of the body's normal functioning, "muscle tone" simply means that the muscle fibres are being stimulated by the central nervous system. But in common use, the designation "toned" pertains to the appearance of a musculature that is hard, as opposed to flaccid, and noticeable, but not overly so. In this respect a toned body implies a lean body, one low in body fat and showing some muscle definition and shape.
The same basic physical process is necessary whether you want to tone or build muscle or whether you want to shape particular body parts or increase strength. To achieve any of these goals will need progressive resistance training. Toning usually means more reps at lower weights, while building is achieved through high weight and low reps. Muscle tone (aka residual muscle tension or tonus) is the continuous and passive partial contraction of the muscles. It helps maintain posture and declines during REM sleep.
In order to tone our bodies it is good to massage the muscles both before and especially after exercise. Grapefruit and Orange essential oils are part of the citrus family. These oils are referred to as “sunny” oils and are renowned for brightening the complexion and having a tonic effect on the skin. Grapefruit is said to be valuable oil for fluid retention and cellulite and other conditions where the body is struggling to eliminate toxins effectively. Lemongrass is said to have a tonic and stimulating effect on the whole organism and a large number of laboratory trials have given scientific confirmation of its traditional uses. It is refreshing and can act as a deodorant. Clary Sage is warming oil and can help to relax muscles and reduce tension. Geranium is one of the flower oils and is widely used in skincare. It is said to help with cellulitis and fluid retention and as such can have a toning effect on the skin.
The manufacturer makes no medicinal claims for this blend of oil and it is important to read the warning before use. This product can be used as a massage or bath oil.
