The best way to shape and tone your body is with pilates.  Pilates is a total body sculpting program which helps you strengthen your core (torso), build flexibility, endurance and strength without building muscle bulk.   Almost anyone can do pilates and all it takes is a twenty minute workout three times a week.  You will quickly see results.  Your posture, overall health and muscle tone will improve dramatically.  The pilates workout uses very controlled movements which sculpt and strengthen your body.  Many athletes, Hollywood actors and dancers use pilates to lose weight and tone their bodies.  I highly recommend the Winsor Pilates Basic Workout System. This is how to get a lean body the easy way.

Another fun and easy exercise which quickly burns calories and helps to give you a leaner body is rebounder exercises (mini trampoline).  When you exercise on a mini trampoline you will burn more calories than regular exercise and it is a lot more fun.  You can jog, march, dance, do jumping jacks and many other exercises that will give you a total body workout.  There are also many other health benefits of using a rebounder.  Rebounder exercise helps to reduce cellulite and increase your lymphatic circulation.

Along with exercising, you must also make sure you are eating a sensible diet.  Avoiding processed foods and replacing them with whole natural foods is essential to achieving a lean and toned body.  You daily diet should include lots of fruits, vegetables, wild caught fish, lean meats, whole grains and nuts.  

Drinking enough water to hydrate your cells for optimal fat burning and to reduce water retention is very important.  Drink a large glass of filtered water every hour.
