Muscle tone
Muscle tone or tonus is the slight contraction of muscle even when it is at rest. Muscle tone comes from having strong muscles. Athletes who look incredibly toned are that way because they are strong.

Study finds overweight older people live longer. Really?
From this WebMD article Overweight Older People Live Longer:
“People who carry a few extra pounds after age 70 tend to live longer than people who don’t, new research finds.
Frail elders respond robustly to resistance training
Between the ages of 20 to 70 it is likely that one will lose up to 30 percent of one's lean muscle mass. That can be reversed with proper strength training. Of all the segments of the population the elderly stand to gain the most from strength training.
High intensity training - how often should one train?"
When the body is exposed to more of a stimulus that it is equipped to handle the body will makes a positive adaptation as a
form of self-protection. That change will occur if the body has the capacity to change plus the needed time and resources to recover.

Exercise better for shoulder pain

More exercise is not always better – a personal experience
The positive adaptation as a result of aerobic activity is primarily a bio-chemical change - the body up-regulates its ability to burn sugar for an extended time. The recovery period is short - hence running can be done with greater frequency. The positive adaptation resulting from strength training involves a structural change - the rebuilding of muscle. For most that involves several days to be fully recovered. Think how long it takes an injury to totally heal. Some go back to the gym before being fully recovered and as a result make minimal progress. Some repeat this mistake for years. I was one of them.
Many years ago when I first started strength training I followed the conventional wisdom that stated that you had to give yourself a da
y off between strength training sessions to let your body recover and become stronger.
