Big Savings On Big Supplements

Hi My little one was said to possibly have low muscle tone by a specialist. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Thanks a bunch!

This answers your exact question: http://www.babycenter.com/404_what-is-low-muscle-tone-and-what-does-it-mean_12189.bc

I know I can work out, and make my muscles bigger, but what are some good ways to burn fat, and gain muscle, and body tone? Having big muscles doesn’t do you any good appearance wise when it doesn’t look defined.

The way to tone the muscles that you have now with out gaining more is to use light weights and do many reps (such as one set of 20-15-10). Also swimming will tone all of your muscles and the same time. Neither one of these are a good way to loose weight but if you just want to tone these are the best.

I have a 18 month old who is not walking yet but starting to try more. A specialist said that he has low muscle tone does anyone know any kids who had a problem like this?

Yes mine. Mine were walking by then, but they were getting PT starting very early. We did a lot of strengthening and still are with the youngest though he got dropped from PT at 14 months.

Things we do, sit on a large ball and rock back and forth. This strengthens the core and is needed for walking. We did a lot of bean bags were he would have to put them through a hoop, they weighed I think 4 oz each. We would hold him in a wheel barrow position and have him support his weight by his arms, we held him at the waist. We had him climb over blankets and pillows on the bed, we had him stand with support on pillows to develop the muscles, and we took him to the park alot which we still do, and did a little gym class. Crawling through obstacles, squatting to pick up items, playing in a tunnel are some things that we did.

We got free intervention through EI early intervention, if you are in the states its a free program to any child that is 0-3 and is assessed and determined to be delayed. Not walking at 18 months would qualify.

I read that low muscle tone is one symptom of ADD. I thought that was a little strange. Does anyone know what causes low muscle tone in people with ADD?

that data does not sound accurate. muscle tone or the amount of body fat that a person has is ultimately determined by the diet that they follow.

regular exercise definetly helps to modify behavior and help provide behavior modification in those with ADD/ADHD

I was wondering if there is any link between preschool speech language delay and low muscle tone?

Hi there, I work in a nursery and I am currently working with lots of children with additional support needs most of whom have poor muscle tone. They also have Speech and language issues.

Try activities such as encouraging them to blow bubbles – this encourages the development of the muscles around the mouth.

I hope this has helped you out. x

According to several sources, "common fever symptoms exist such as feelings of cold, increased heart rate, increased muscle tone…, and shivering. "

Why is there increased muscle tone? And after recovery, does your body feel more fit?

when you think about it, it makes sense. Think of it like this: if you go work out and you jog for 30 minutes your muscles would be tense and you would have a fever also.

Is it the well defined kind, such as shapely arms, thighs, calve muscles and hard abs

Or would it look better if it were a smooth sort of tone/tightness. Not as well defined muscles, just slim and sleek?

Go for the big breasted look.

Our son has been diagnosed with slightly low muscle tone. He is almost ten months old and has only just started to weight bear (only for a second or two).
We do exercises with him that seem to be slowely helping.
I was wondering if anyone else has/or had a baby in this situation and how long it took for baby to crawl or walk?
Thanks!

My daughter had Down’s Syndrome. We were told that low muscle tone was a possibility. Surprisingly her muscle tone was just fine. But, during her early intervention physical therapy they really worked with her to get her going.
She…
Rolled over at 4.5 mo
Sat unsupported 10 mo
Crawled 11.5 mo
Took first step supported 9 mo
Walked 15 mo

Just hang in there. He’ll get going soon enough. Then they never slow down. You’re doing the right thing by helping him along. Does he see a physical therapist…that might be something you could look into. Good luck

Is doing more reps at lighter weights better for building tone or definition than doing fewer reps of heavier sets?

I don’t need to build muscle for a sport or anything, I’m more concerned with how I look, so which will get me better results?

For example, I bench 3 sets at 20 reps of 120 lbs. Would I be better served to do 3 sets at 10 reps with 200 lbs? Thanks.

for tone, do fewer sets, higher reps, lower weight.. ex, 2 sets, 20 reps

for building mass strength – higher sets, lower reps, higher weight. ex. 4 sets, 8 reps
