How to Improve Muscle Tone Neuropathy

Physical activity is essential to our daily routine. Aerobic exercise should be balanced with strength training to promote a healthy, fit lifestyle. Strength training is effective for both men and women in burning calories, reducing body fat and toning muscles. It aids in the preservation of muscle mass regardless of age.
