The Resistance Toning Kit is everything you need to reach your fitness goals in one easy to use package. Resistance training is a form of strength training in which each effort is performed against a specific opposing force generated by the resistance created in stretching the resistance tube. It is called "isotonic" exercise when the body part is moving against the force, or stretching the tube. Holding that resistance against the force, the exercise becomes "isometric" exercise. Resistance exercise is used to develop the strength and size of skeletal muscles. Properly performed, resistance training can provide significant functional benefits and improvement in overall health and well-being. The goal of resistance training is to gradually and progressively overload the musculoskeletal system so it gets stronger. Research shows that regular resistance training will strengthen and tone muscles and it INCREASES BONE MASS! Resistance training is a real positive for those suffering from a lack of bone mass. It is made by Natural Fitness, an eco-friendly yoga and fitness company and that means dedication and quality products.

Planting a tree helps offset the environmental impact from manufacturing and transportation of your purchase. The trees are planted in areas of the rain forest that have degraded soils from slash and burn farming, clear-cutting and over use. Trees help stabilize erosion while rebuilding the soil and protecting nearby streams and rivers. These trees absorb CO2 and other greenhouse gasses. Trees also release vital oxygen for decades while they provide important sustainable resources to the local communities such as food, fiber, fuel and building materials.
