Summer is here andnow is the best time to take control of your life and get your body into the shape that you always wanted. It generally takes a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks before you will notice results and even longer to reach long term physical goals. Here are some awesome steps that will help you get there:
1: Work out with weights.The right kind of weight training for women can be extremely beneficial for good health and for achieving your visible physical goals. Many people believe weight training does not burn calories, but this is untrue. Weight training, if done correctly, has been proven to burn more calories than most cardiovascular activities. Resistance training builds muscle tissue/ connective tissue, strengthening bones and improves vitality.
2: Eat more healthy meals a day in order to speed up your metabolism you must eat less and eat more often. 3 big meals a day is not going to help you lose weight. 6 smaller meals of healthy food is going to get you just that bit closer to achieving your goal. Remember that this is 6 healthy meals. A lot of people don't realize that about 70% of weight loss is in your diet.
3. Drink more water. Ditch those sodas and start drinking more water. We all know that sugar drinks go straight to the hips but so can the diet drinks as well. Diet drinks can make your body produce extra insulin which can in turn make you put weight on. In addition to flushing out the toxins out of your system, drinking water encourages you to build muscle. The average person should drink 6 - 8 glasses of water a day and more when you are training. It is advised that you drink room temperate water as it absorbs much quicker into the system. Especially when training and in turn it should avoid you bloating and have it sitting in your stomach.
4. The correct cardio training. Doing the correct cardio training is extremely important. A good balance of exercises is also needed to avoid the body from reaching a plateau. Mix it up with running, cycling, swimming and even a variety of sports. Also make sure you mix it up with interval training and not just the same repetitive motion. Jog or walk for a while and then sprint for a period of time. You need to constantly shock your system.
5. Avoid alcohol. Alcohol can be one thing that if had to excess can ruin all of your great eating and training. A lot of our clients don't realize how high in calories alcohol is by itself not to mention how bad some of the mixers can be for you. Then what do you do when you wake up the next day? I know that the first thing I feel like doing after having a couple drinks the night before is call up the nearest burger place and eating the fattest burger there. Because your body is trying to break down the calories from the alcohol, this burger will pretty much store straight in the body as fat. So if you do feel the need to drink, make sure that the next days food intake is extremely healthy.
These are 5 easy steps that if all done correctly will help you get into shapefor summer. None of these should be overlooked. If you are going to have a go, make it a good one. Good Luck.
